Recently, the death of a school girl in Tamil Nadu has sparked major tension as the parents of the student along with their relatives started protesting against the school administration.
According to the reports, a class 12 student committed suicide by jumping off her hostel building after reportedly being tortured by two teachers of her school.

They took the student to the nearby hospital but she was declared dead. The girl’s family is also saying that the two teachers had mentally harassed and humiliated her. Police mentioned that the student had left behind a note that says she was struggling in several subjects and alleged being humiliated by her teachers for her academic performance.
