His mother complained about this to the principal but the authorities did not do anything. We have been told that after this, the student went into depression and was seeking treatment. Because of the lockdown, the school was shut and the boy was at home. When the school reopened, the boy started going again because of exams. He felt he was being tortured (mentally). He also requested a school teacher to help him with a subject, but the teacher did not show any sympathy and accused the student and his mother of troubling her unnecessarily.”
