A 44-year-old private school teacher in Karur hanged himself to death on Wednesday evening after leaving a note blaming his extreme act on students who allegedly linked him to the suicide of a 17-year-old girl student a few days ago.
A Saravanan, a maths teacher, took permission from the school and went to his father-in-law’s house at Sengattupatti in Trichy where he hanged himself in a room in the upstairs. He is survived by his wife and two sons. The girl, who was a student of the same school, had ended her life at her house on November 19 after leaving a suicide note blaming sexual harassment for her action though she did not name anyone. The only daughter of her widowed mother, she was also attending NEET coaching at the school. Stating that she should be the last victim of sexual harassment, she said she was afraid of revealing the identity of the perpetrators of the crime. Vengamedu police which booked a case of suspicious death could not get any clue about her allegations.
Police said Saravanan was not taking classes for the girl as she was in another section. However, some students made insulting comments against him, stated Saravanan in his suicide note. A facebook post while regretting his action, praised Saravanan’s dedication to teaching saying several students had benefited from it. Thuraiyur police brought Saravanna’s body to the government hospital for postmortem and are investigating.
