The boy’s parents claim he was severely reprimanded by teachers for incomplete homework before being found unconscious at home. “The school broke my child,” his father said. “He was anxious, and their cruelty pushed him over the edge.”
CCTV Footage Reveals Shocking Scenes
Delhi Police recovered video evidence showing the teen being aggressively scolded by teachers in front of classmates. Witnesses say he was left in tears. An officer stated, “The footage supports allegations of mental cruelty under the Juvenile Justice Act.”
School Denies Wrongdoing Amid Backlash
The institution denies harassment, calling it “routine counseling.” However, other parents allege a toxic environment. “Many kids face public shaming here,” one parent revealed.
Academic Pressure & Mental Health Crisis
Child psychologists warn public humiliation devastates teens. Dr. Anjali Sharma notes, “Shaming triggers depression. Schools need trauma-sensitive approaches.”
Legal Action & Protests Erupt
Police filed charges under Sections 305 (abetment to suicide) and 75 (child cruelty). Activists demand stricter school accountability, while protests outside the school chant, “Stop Teacher Bullying.”
