Police have booked a government school headmistress in Madurai for alleged abetment of suicide and under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act after a Class 11 student died by suicide. The case followed a complaint by the girl’s mother, who alleged derogatory remarks led to her death.
Madurai: A case has been registered against a government school headmistress for abetment of suicide and under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, following the death of a Class 11 student near Usilampatti, police said on Monday.
The Usilampatti Taluk Police, which initially registered a case of suspicious death on August 25, altered the charges after the victim’s mother filed a formal complaint against the headmistress, identified as Vimaladevi.
According to the police, the teenager, a resident of Thottappanaickanur, had recently enrolled in a government school in Poochipatti. After she stopped attending classes, the school management instructed her parents to collect her Transfer Certificate (TC) and enroll her elsewhere.
Seeking a new admission, the girl and her mother visited the government school in Usilampatti. During the inquiry, the mother reportedly stood before the headmistress with her arms folded. Objecting to her mother's submissive posture, the student intervened and pulled her mother's hands apart.
