A 15-year-old Class 9 student in Assam's Cachar district was found dead in his hostel bathroom, with police suspecting a case of suicide.
The student, who had recently faced internal disciplinary action and was temporarily suspended from classes, had joined the school six months ago after clearing the Lateral Entry Selection Test (LEST).
His family members have accused three senior students of abetment of suicide, and police are verifying their ages to determine if they will be investigated under the Juvenile Justice Act.
The school has initiated a three-tier investigation and has an anti-ragging committee, with the principal assuring that allegations will be thoroughly examined.
Discussions of suicide can be triggering for some, but it's essential to note that suicides are preventable. If you or someone you know needs support, please reach out to a mental health specialist or the provided helplines.
