Girl harrassed for not paying school fees, says 'Sorry Mom' before suicide

A 9th standard student committed suicide, by hanging herself to death at her residence after she was denied to write exam in school for not paying fees. The incident occurred on Thursday evening in Hyderabad's JLS Nagar under the Malkajgiri police station.

Sai Deepti, who had pleaded with school authorities to allow her to write the ongoing unit tests, felt ashamed after she was denied for not paying school fees.  

According to Malkajgiri police, Sai Deepti is the second daughter of Mr Balakrishna a painter and Sunitha who works in Taruni Supermarket at Bowenpally. Balakrishna said that he had met the school authorities on Wednesday and assured them of depositing Rs 2000 fees on first week of February.

On Thursday the girl returned home from school at around 4.30 pm and committed suicide. She had left a suicide note. Her mother who returned home from work found her hanging from a ceiling fan. However, the school management has denied allegations and said that all those students who have not yet paid were cautioned  but they have not barred any one from writing the examination on Thursday. They alleged that the girl had sought permission to go home early on the day as she was suffering stomach ache.
