Bilaspur College Suicide

Bilaspur-Video of the girl student of Bilaspur Degree College, who had jumped from the third floor of her college building on December 3, 2019, has appeared on social media. The girl can be seen in the hospital talking about how continuous mental harassment by one of the teachers led her to attempt suicide.

“I attempted suicide because I could not take any more torture in the classroom because of the teacher,”

the girl said when asked about the reason.

“She would only point out my mistakes and ask questions just from me, and then ask me to leave the classroom,”

the girl added.

On being asked since when the teacher had been behaving this way, the girl said,

“For the last one month, every day during the class, she would point me out and ask me to leave the classroom.”

The girl had informed her mother regarding this, but she asked her to ignore it.

“I told my mother regarding this issue a few days back. But she told me to ignore her because she is a teacher,”

the girl said.

Her mother confirmed that she talked about a teacher’s indifferent attitude.

“I had told her to ignore it, but I did not expect that the situation would reach such a point,”she informed.

The girl informs, the day she jumped from the building, some students had seen her crying and even inquired as to what was wrong.

“I thought of approaching the principal with a complaint, but then I went blank and jumped,”

she said.

The college staff with the help of some students rushed the girl to the District Hospital Bilaspur. She received critical injuries and has fractured both her legs. She was later taken to Indira Gandhi Medical College, Shimla, for treatment.

In its initial investigation, the local police had taken statements of some people but could not talk to the girl as she was unconscious.

Now, as the video, with the girl’s statement, is being circulated on social media, the alleged teacher is likely to face police questioning.  So far, not much has been given out by the police regarding its investigation and action taken against the teacher alleged of harassing the girl.

Principal of the college, Ram Krishn Sharma said, if a teacher is found responsible for abetting the girl to attempt suicide appropriate action would be taken against him/her.
