Jaipur:  A 16-year-old student of a state-run school in Rajasthan has committed suicide allegedly due to humiliation, harassment and beating by a teacher. The teacher was arrested, police said Monday.

The incident took place Saturday in Rampuria village in Baran district, over 290 km from here.

Dilkush Saharia, a Class 10 student of government secondary school in Bansthuni village, hanged himself, a police officer said.

The officer told over phone from the district town: “We have arrested school teacher Mukut Bihari Sen Sunday night and charged him with abetment of suicide.” He will be presented before a local court Monday, the officer said.

Police said Saharia, in a suicide note, mentioned that he was taking this extreme step due to the harassment and beatingindex by Sen.

“Once when I was not able to do my homework in time, the teacher in front of others told me that why don’t I die so that burden is removed from his head,” he wrote in the suicide note.

“Whenever I was not able to do my homework, one of the teachers in my school, Mukut Ji, used to beat me and humiliate me in front of everyone. Police uncle please punish him (the teacher). Do not forgive him, this is all I want from you (police),” Saharia wrote.

This is second such incident in less than a month in the state.

Earlier this month, a 12-year-old student committed suicide, leaving behind a suicide note in which he accused three teachers of beating him for not doing his homework.

Meanwhile, voluntary organisations are up in arms against rise in corporal punishment cases in the schools.

Nitisha Sharma of  called for strict action against teachers who resort to corporal punishment.

“It is a matter of great concern and the government should immediately take action to stop this kind of punishment in schools,” she said.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
