Covered his face in the closet; mocked in the name of color; in Thiruppunithura, the 15-year-old boy took his life, and his mother says it was due to ragging.

In Thiruppunithura, a 15-year-old boy jumped from a flat and ended his life, with his mother accusing ragging as the cause. Pointing out that the child had been a victim of severe bullying at school, the mother has filed a complaint against the Global Public School, where the child studied, with the state's police chief.

The complaint states that the child was severely bullied at school, including being mocked because of his skin color. He was taken to the washroom, harassed, had his face covered in a closet, and was forced to crawl in the toilet. These issues were raised in a complaint to the school, but the mother pointed out in the complaint that she was afraid of retaliation, wondering if anyone would listen to them.
