'Despite complaints, they never stopped'

The boy's father alleged that his son had been struggling for months with how he was treated in school. "He used to tell me and my wife that teachers scolded him for every small thing and emotionally hurt him. We complained verbally many times, but they never stopped," the father told PTI.

The FIR noted that he allegedly jumped from Platform No. 2 of Rajendra Place Metro station. Police recovered his school bag from the Metro station, which contained the suicide note.

The FIR reproduced the contents, where he apologised to his family and wrote that the school teachers had caused him deep distress.

'Sorry, mother, I broke your heart so many times'

The suicide note recovered from his school bag read, "I am very sorry I did this, but the school staff said so much that I had to do it. If any of my body (organs) works or is in condition to work, please donate it to someone who really needs it. My parents did a lot; I am sorry I couldn't give them anything. I'm sorry, brother, I was rude. I'm sorry, mother, I broke your heart so many times, now I will break it for the last time."

"The school teachers are still there. What can I say to them? My last wish is that action be taken against them so that no other student does what I did... I am sorry, but the teachers did this to me," the note added.

The FIR stated that the student had frequently complained about the behaviour of certain teachers. The boy told his parents that some teachers scolded, insulted, and mentally tormented him over minor issues.
