Making memes on teachers spirals into teen suicide after police gets involved: Report

Ritu Verma, a single parent, revealed that her son was called in by the Chandigarh Cyber Cell after a complaint was filed by his school. Despite telling ASI Gurdev Singh that she was not in Jalandhar and would come back and bring her underage son to the station personally, the teen was still called in along with three other students.

Creating memes on teachers took a drastic turn when one of the students behind it was found hanging from the ceiling in his room by his mother on Saturday.

As per a report in The Indian Express, four month ago, the school accused the deceased and four other students of creating memes on teachers and posting them on Instagram. For the same reason, their parents were summoned to the school, and after a warning, the students deleted this account. However, the victim's mother alleged that the school continued to harass the children and on Saturday, they were assaulted at the Cyber Crime office.
