Palakkad (Kerala), Sep 11
A 17-year-old Plus-Two student was found dead with severe burns in a secluded area near her home in Palakkad, the police said on Thursday.
A 14-year-old girl in Palakkad died by suicide in June this year after her family alleged she was mentally harassed by her school. Following protests from students and parents, the school dismissed five staff members, including the principal.
In another case, a 17-year-old Plus Two student in Thiruvananthapuram, Darshan R, was found dead at his home in March this year. The police suspected that exam-related stress might have led to his death.
