Delhi Class 10 Suicide Probe Widens as Police Analyse CCTV, Question Teachers

Investigators are testing video and witness accounts to establish whether staff conduct constituted criminal harassment.

Overview

  • Police seized the school's DVR and are conducting a frame-by-frame review, including a clip from a drama class that shows a teacher speaking to the student with audio unclear.
  • Two teachers were questioned on Monday and three more were summoned, with those examined denying harassment, according to investigators.
  • An FIR for abetment under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita was registered after a suicide note named four staff members, and the school has suspended all four.
  • The student’s father joined protests outside St Columba’s demanding arrests and a faster inquiry, and he met senior police to review progress.
  • Delhi’s education minister requested an internal review and stronger mental-health safeguards as recent student deaths in Jashpur and Hyderabad highlighted broader concerns.
