Gauri, the class X student of the Trinity Lyceum school, had jumped from the primary block of the school building during lunch break on Friday after she was allegedly reprimanded by her teachers. Her younger sister, a student of class 8, also studies in the same school. Police said Gauri’s father filed a complaint that his daughter attempted suicide after being mentally harassed by her teachers. Gauri was purportedly scolded by two teachers for picking a fight with a fellow student. Student organisations in Kollam held protests and clashed with police demanding strict action against the teachers of the school.
