Date: September 9, 2023
Location: Kolkata, India
In a heart-wrenching incident that has shaken the city of Kolkata, a 16-year-old Class 10 student, Sk. Shan, tragically lost his life on the premises of Silver Point School. This devastating event has given rise to alarming allegations of mental torture inflicted upon the young boy by school authorities, purportedly in retaliation for his father's active involvement in a campaign advocating for reduced school fees during the pandemic.
The incident unfolded on the afternoon of September 4, 2023, when Sk. Shan fell to his death on the school campus. Initial reports suggest that the boy, whose classroom was on the fourth floor of the six-storey building, is assumed to have jumped from the fifth floor. His father, Sk. Pappu, alleges a sinister conspiracy, claiming that his son was subjected to relentless mental harassment with the intention of harming him.
Sk. Pappu has submitted a written complaint to the Kasba police station, naming the school's principal, vice-principal, and two teachers in the complaint. He accuses them of conspiring to "kill his son," leading to this tragic incident.
The local authorities have initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Shan's untimely demise. The Kolkata police are treating this matter with utmost seriousness, with the aim of uncovering any potential misconduct or negligence on the part of school staff members.
The incident has not only devastated Shan's family but has also ignited outrage and concern among human rights activists and organizations across India. Swati Rai Mitra, the secretary of the All India Human Rights organization, along with other members, visited the victim's family to offer support and assistance during this challenging time.
Swati Rai Mitra expressed her deep sorrow and concern, stating, "The loss of Sk. Shan is a tragic reminder of the urgent need to address issues related to the emotional and psychological well-being of students in our educational institutions. No child should ever have to endure such suffering, and we will do everything in our power to seek justice for Shan and his family."
In response to this tragic incident, the All India Human Rights organization has launched a campaign for justice in memory of Sk. Shan. They are committed to ensuring that a thorough and impartial investigation takes place and that any responsible parties are held accountable.
As the nation mourns the loss of this young life, there is a growing call for transparency, accountability, and comprehensive reform within the education system to protect the well-being of students. The tragic death of Sk. Shan serves as a painful reminder of the urgent need to address issues of student mental health and the responsibilities of educational institutions.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Shan's family, who are grappling with this unimaginable loss. The All India Human Rights organization stands in solidarity with them and will continue to advocate for justice in this heartbreaking case.
