LUCKNOW: The father of the 23-year-old BEd student who allegedly committed suicide in her hostel room at Dr Shakuntala Misra National Rehabilitation University on Friday lodged an FIR against the university for harassing her.
In the FIR, Parul Singh’s father
Kamla Pati Singh has named hostel warden
Ashwini Dubey in charges under IPC sections 306 and 342 (
abetment of suicide and confinement).
He has also mentioned some unnamed teachers, saying they shouted at Parul and misbehaved with her when she went to them to talk about her low scores in MA exam.
On Thursday evening, Parul was found hanging from the grille of the window of her room. Following the incident, students had held a protest against university authorities for lack of medical facilities as there was no ambulance on the campus and the girl was rushed on a two-wheeler to the hospital where she was declared brought dead.
“In the complaint, the girl’s family has alleged that the warden and some teachers shouted at the girl when she went to them with a query about her marks being lower than expectation. The family believes that was the reason behind her drastic step. No suicide note was recovered,” said SHO of Para police station Akhilesh Chandra Pandey.
Singh said his daughter had completed MA in English from the same university in 2017 before taking admission to BEd. He added that she had scored well in all papers except one in which teachers had forgotten to enter her internal scores in the final tally. That had been disturbing her for some time.
