A case has been filed against Viqarunnisa Noon School and College (VNSC) principal Naznin Ferdous, morning shift in-charge Jinat Akhtar and class teacher Hasna Hena over the suicide of schoolgirl Aritree Adhikari, reports UNB.

Victim’s father Dilip Adhikari filed the case with Paltan police station on Tuesday night accusing the trio of provoking Aritee to commit suicide, duty officer of the police station sub-inspector Sujon Talukder said.

Aritree Adhikari, a ninth grade student, reportedly committed suicide at their Shantinagar residence in the city on Monday after allegedly being rebuked by teachers for using mobile phone during examination.

The incident sparked widespread protests among the students and their guardians who also demanded the removal of the accused teachers.

Meanwhile, the students of the educational institution are scheduled to stage demonstrations in front of the main gate of the Bailey Road campus on Wednesday morning.
