Delhi school death: Police recover 3-page suicide note, breakup angle under probe
· India · Times of India, Hindustan Times
Police in east Delhi recovered a three‑page suicide note from the bag of an 18‑year‑old Class 12 girl who was found burnt to death on school premises Saturday. Investigators are probing whether a recent breakup with a boyfriend spurred the act, while the family suspects a possible conspiracy. The note references her family and a friend, with one page containing a purported apology and another warning about a friend being harassed. Crime‑scene teams and the Forensic Science Laboratory examined the site and a bottle containing the flammable substance, and CCTV footage is being reviewed. No arrest has been made and the exact cause of death remains unclear.
Why it matters
The incident raises concerns about adolescent mental‑health support in Delhi's government schools and could prompt calls for stronger anti‑bullying and relationship‑violence prevention measures. The family’s conspiracy theory also highlights tensions between police investigations and public trust in sensitive cases involving minors.
