Class 10 student suicide: School counsellor dismissed his suicidal thoughts as a ‘joke’

Classmates of 16-year-old Shourya Patil claim he told the school counselor about suicidal thoughts weeks before his death, but the concern was dismissed. Patil died by suicide on November 18, with his suicide note detailing sustained humiliation by four teachers who have since been suspended. Protesters are demanding justice.
