Jaipur schoolgirl suicide: 'Approached teacher twice but got shouted at', reveals CBSE probe report
An inquiry into the death of a 9-year-old student at a private school in Jaipur has revealed serious lapses in safety, child protection and school response. The report by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) released on Friday (Nov 21) says that the class 4 student approached her class teacher five times and twice on the day she committed suicide over alleged bullying but she was never referred to the counsellor.
Rather the teacher shouted multiple times at the nine-year-old girl and said things that surprised everybody in the class.
The girl feeling cornered left the classroom on the ground floor and ultimately jumped from the fourth floor of the school building. She died on the spot.
"Instead of supporting her, Puneeta ma'am dismissed the problem. She was seen shouting multiple times and said things that 'shocked the entire class'," read the report.
The Board has termed the incident as a “serious violation" of safety and mental-well-being guidelines that schools are strictly supposed to follow.
The bullying included verbal abuse with sexual references that was too much for the girl to handle, revealed the investigation of Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) into the suicide of Amaira Kumar Meena - on November 1 at Neerja Modi School.
