An 18-year-old intermediate second-year student allegedly died by suicide in Telangana's Jogulamba Gadwal district after a woman lecturer allegedly 'insulted' him in front of his classmates over the marks he secured in an examination, police said on Wednesday.
According to police, the class 12 student in a suicide note stated that the lecturer praised a girl student at the college premises on July 27, for outperforming him in the exams. The deceased, however, objected to praising the girl student, saying she had only secured one mark more than him. Following the argument, the lecturer allegedly slapped him. The deceased, who was upset, took the extreme step, police said.
