Tragic Student Death Sparks Outrage in Tripura

Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha has instructed an investigation into the alleged suicide of a class 12 student after being humiliated by a teacher. A three-member committee will probe the incident, which has caused widespread outrage. The victim reportedly took the extreme step following scolding over a Biology exam.

On Tuesday, Tripura CM Manik Saha ordered the Education Department to investigate the tragic death of a promising class 12 student who allegedly committed suicide after being humiliated by a teacher. The case has sparked significant outrage across the state.

The incident, which unfolded in South Tripura's Sonapur, prompted the creation of a three-member committee led by the director of secondary education. This committee is tasked with delving into the circumstances surrounding the alleged suicide.

Initial reports suggest the student, a high achiever in her class, was scolded by a teacher regarding her Biology paper evaluation and later consumed pesticide. Opposition leader Sudip Roy Barman stepped in to provide financial assistance to her impoverished family for her last rites.
