Opposing the anticipatory bail petition filed by the two teachers, senior government pleader Suman Chakravarthy submitted that the student had committed suicide due to the mental harassment and humiliation inflicted by these teachers. He made the submission when the anticipatory petition filed by the teachers, Sindhu Paul and Crescence Navis, came up for hearing. The government pleader submitted that the witnesses in the case were students and the colleagues of the petitioners. The pleader also contended that the investigation had revealed that the girl could not bear the harassment meted out by the petitioners. Meanwhile, the girl’s father R. Prasannakumar has filed a petition seeking to implead him in the case opposing the bail pleas.
