Dhar, Madhya Pradesh: In a heart-wrenching incident, a Class 10 student from Utawad village, located 10 km from the Dhar district headquarters, ended his life after being caught with a mobile phone during a pre-board examination. The tragic event unfolded on Monday night, leaving the community in shock and grief.
According to police reports, the student was reprimanded after being found using a mobile phone during the exam. This discovery led to disciplinary action, and the psychological toll of the incident appears to have contributed to the student’s drastic step later that evening.
Local authorities have initiated an investigation into the matter to ascertain the exact circumstances that led to the suicide. Meanwhile, education experts and mental health professionals are calling for urgent reforms in handling such sensitive situations, emphasizing the importance of creating a supportive environment for students rather than one of fear and judgment.

This tragic loss serves as a grim reminder of the need for stronger student support systems and mental health awareness in educational institutions across the country.
