A student in Odisha reportedly committed suicide due to being upset about being inappropriately frisked.

In Kendrapara district of Odisha, a tragic incident took place where an 18-year-old girl lost her life due to alleged harassment. The police shared that the young student took her own life after being inappropriately searched by a male teacher just before entering an examination hall. The incident came to light after the student's mother filed a complaint with the police on Saturday. According to the mother, the incident occurred on February 19 when her daughter was appearing for her exams conducted by the Council of Higher Secondary Education, Odisha at Pattamundai College.

The mother's complaint stated that instead of following the CHSE guidelines of having female teachers frisk the girl students, this male teacher took on the task. The inspector-in-charge of Pattamundai Rural Police Station, Dheeraj Lenka, shared that the FIR mentioned how the male teacher inappropriately searched the student. This unfortunate event took place despite the guidelines stating otherwise. The complainant also mentioned that the incident had a severe impact on her daughter's mental state, leading her to take such a drastic step.

Lenka mentioned that the complaint was filed the day before, and the police have already initiated an investigation into the matter. They are currently reviewing the CCTV footage to gather evidence and verify the details of the incident. If the evidence supports the complaint, strict legal action will be taken against the accused. The police are determined to bring justice to the girl and her family.

However, the college authorities have denied the allegations made by the complainant. The Principal of Pattamundai College, Dilip Kumar Bhuyan, shared that the female students are always searched by female staff members before entering the exam halls. He stated that the allegation against the male teacher is baseless and untrue. The college is deeply saddened by the incident and is cooperating with the authorities in their investigation.

The incident has caused an uproar in the community, with many demanding justice for the girl and her family. It is a tragic reminder of the importance of adhering to guidelines and respecting the privacy of students. The investigation is ongoing, and the truth will soon be revealed. May the young student's soul rest in peace.
