Jhansi police registered a case against principal and manager of a college after their alleged negligence forced an intermediate student to commit suicide. The girl took the extreme step as she failed to appear in her board exams.

Sanjay Jain, a resident of Karguwa area of Nawabad in Jhansi, claimed that his daughter Khushi Jain was a student of Class XII in Hansraj College on Shivpuri Road in Sipri Bazar area of Jhansi. He said that she lost her identity card so she applied for a duplicate card as under the new rules of the UP Board for Secondary Education, the students are not allowed to enter the examination centres if they don’t not carry the admit cards as well as school identity cards.

Jain claimed that as the school authority did not provide her the ID card, she failed to appear for the exams which started on Tuesday. Depressed over it, she hanged herself. Her body was found hanging from the ceiling of her room on Saturday morning. Jain and other residents, along with some other parents, staged demonstration keeping the body in front of college on Saturday morning.

The protest ended only after the local police registered a case and promised action against those found guilty.  The body of  the girl was also sent for the post-mortem examination.

Meanwhile, another girl committed suicide in Ferozabad after efforts were made to outrage her modesty during a marriage ceremony.

Reports said that the victim went to attend a marriage function in Shikohabad area where a youth, who came with the groom’s side from Phatham area of the district, tried to rape her after pulling her into a secluded room two days back. Luckily, the girl raised an alarm and some guests rescued her.

However, the girl slipped into depression after the incident and consumed some poisonous some time on Friday night. She was found dead on Saturday morning. A case was registered and body sent for autopsy.
