A tragic incident unfolded in Katihar, Bihar, where a 13-year-old student was found hanging near the bathroom of his school hostel. The deceased, identified as Singheshwar Mandal, was a Class 5 student and had been residing in the hostel for the past three years.
While police authorities initially classified the incident as a possible suicide, the deceased’s family vehemently disputed this claim, accusing the school and hostel administration of murder. They alleged that Singheshwar was subjected to humiliation and physical abuse by the administration after being falsely accused of stealing ₹200.
According to the family, despite paying the alleged stolen amount to the school, Singheshwar was still subjected to humiliating treatment, leading to his decision to end his life. They demanded stringent action against the school and hostel administration.
The school administration, however, vehemently denies these allegations, insisting that Singheshwar’s death was a suicide. The police have launched an investigation into the matter and are awaiting the results of the postmortem examination to determine the cause of death.
The incident has sparked outrage and raised concerns about the safety and well-being of students residing in school hostels. As investigations continue, the truth behind Singheshwar’s death remains shrouded in uncertainty, leaving his family grappling with immense grief and demanding justice for their beloved son.
