A mother of a 15-year-old teen who committed suicide on January 15 in the Indian state of Kerala has recently shared a post on social media, revealing the alleged bullying that occurred at the Global Public School in Thiruyaniyoor, Ernakulam, which her son attended.
Mihir Ahammed endured horrific cruelty, which his mother believes "crushed her son and pushed him toward death." The teen was allegedly beaten up, verbally abused and even forced to lick the toilet seat!
Mihir's mother wrote "They didn't end the cruelty even after his death. A shocking chat screenshot reveals the extent of their cruelty. They messaged 'fxxk ni*ga he actually died' and celebrated his death."
Police have registered a case of suicide after the teen jumped from his 26th-floor flat in Kochi, barely an hour after returning home from school. Mihir's mother is demanding an immediate and impartial probe into her son's death and has written to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's office and the Kerala police chief over the tragic incident.
"After his death, my husband and I began gathering information to understand why Mihir took such a drastic step. Through conversations with his friends, schoolmates, and by reviewing social media messages, we uncovered the horrific reality of what he endured. Mihir was subjected to brutal ragging, bullying, and physical assault by a gang of students at school and on the school bus," his mother stated.
Adding that "The evidence we gathered paints a chilling picture. Mihir was beaten, verbally abused, and forced to endure unimaginable humiliation even on his last day. He was forcibly taken to the washroom, made to lick a toilet seat, and had his head pushed into the toilet while it was flushed. These acts of cruelty broke him in ways we cannot fathom."
Malayalam newspaper Mathrubhumi has reported that General Education and Labour Minister V Sivankutty has ordered a detailed investigation into the incident.
