Delhi Class 10 Boy Dies by Suicide, Note Blames Teachers for Harassment
16-year-old names staff in suicide note before fatal metro jump.
A 16-year-old Class 10 student from a private school in central Delhi took his own life on November 18 by allegedly jumping in front of a moving train at Rajendra Place Metro Station, leaving behind a heartbreaking suicide note that directly accused multiple teachers of relentless mental harassment and humiliation that pushed him beyond endurance.
Recovered from his school bag at the platform, the handwritten note repeatedly apologised to his parents and elder brother while stating in unambiguous terms that the school staff’s constant insults and scolding over minor issues left him with no option. He wrote that the teachers “said so much” that he felt compelled to end his life, and made a final desperate plea for authorities to take strict action against them “so no other student ever has to do what I did.”
The teenager’s father has registered an FIR against the unnamed teachers, detailing months of complaints about targeted verbal abuse and public shaming in class despite repeated appeals to the principal and management. The family revealed that on the morning of the tragedy, while the father was away for work, the boy left home as usual for school but instead headed straight to the metro station, carrying the weight of unresolved torment.

Hundreds of students, accompanied by furious parents, staged an emotional protest outside the school gates on Thursday, raising slogans against the administration and demanding immediate suspension of the accused teachers, registration of criminal charges, and an independent probe into systemic bullying within the institution.
Authorities have seized the suicide note as primary evidence, launched a formal police investigation, and forwarded the matter to the Delhi Directorate of Education for disciplinary action against the school. The incident has triggered widespread outrage and renewed calls for mandatory mental-health protocols and anti-harassment mechanisms in educational institutions across the capital.
