Jaipur Student Suicide: Teacher Ignored Pleas For Help, School 'Tampered' With Evidence: CBSE

A Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) probe finds Nirja Modi School in Jaipur ignored a Class 4 student's bullying complaints for 18 months before she died by suicide. The investigation revealed the school allegedly tampered with evidence and a teacher, Punita Sharma, dismissed the child's pleas for help. A parent of the deceased child stated, 'I request them to de-affiliate the school as 5000+ students are there already. The life is at risk.' Following the incident, an India Today reality check on other Jaipur schools, including Bharatiya Vidyabhavan Vidyashram and Oxford International Public School, revealed varying levels of safety and security measures, indicating persistent gaps in student protection across the city.
