Noida Class 12 Student Commits Suicide after Board Exam

Noida Class 12 Student Commits Suicide: A few hours after taking the board exam, a Class 12 student died by allegedly jumping off the 22nd floor of a building at a group housing society in Noida Extension. While the investigation is still on, the police informed that the 19-year-old could not clear board exam last year as well. Meanwhile, the Police is taking further legal proceedings.

In Uttar Pradesh, the police have often appealed to people, including school and college students, to dial emergency number 112 for help in case of suicidal thoughts. However, it appear that the boy did not get the support he required during times of anxiety and stress.

"Around 4.20 pm today, the local Bisrakh police station officials were alerted about the student's death at the Mahagun Mywoods society. The police team rushed to the site and forensic experts were also sent there," a police spokesperson said.

"The parents of the student were also there and they told the police that their son had returned home after taking the English Core exam for Class 12 today. After reaching home he went to sit on the terrace of the building at the 22nd floor. The family informed police that he was unable to clear the Class 12 exam last year also," the spokesperson said.

Mental health experts believe that suicides are preventable if first observers like parents, siblings, spouse or friends, recognise the behavioural changes in a person and talk to them in order to not let them doubt their self-esteem.
