Students’ protest at Kannadi Higher Secondary School in Palakkad, Kerala, on Thursday morning over the death of a Class 9 boy was called off following the suspension of a teacher and the headmistress.
The 14-year-old was found dead in his bedroom on Tuesday evening, according to police sources.
The Kuzhalmannam police have registered a case of unnatural death based on a complaint filed by the parents.
According to the FIR, the boy took the extreme step after his mother questioned him over certain messages sent by him through Instagram and mentioned the possibility of shifting him to another school.
The relatives alleged that a teacher had also warned the student for sending messages on social media. “We later came to know from other students that a teacher told him that his actions could invite a cyber case and that he might be arrested,” a relative of the boy said.
