Effective leadership leads to increased respect for everyone: Yogi
CM Yogi made the remarks on Sunday while speaing at a programme organised under Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra in Raptinagar and Nanda Nagar of Gorakhpur.
Nearly a week after he consumed poison, a class five student of a convent school in Uttar Pradesh’s Gorakhpur died at the BRD Medical College on Wednesday. The boy had left behind a suicide note, claiming his teacher was too harsh on him, so he was taking his own life, police said.
The death sparked protests outside the school as angry family members and relatives of the boy hurled stones at the school building. They also damaged some vehicles.
Navneet Prakash, 12, a student of St Anthony Convent School in Railway Dairy Colony, Gorakhpur, had reportedly consumed poison on September 15 and the suicide note was recovered from his school bag. In the suicide note, the boy claimed he decided to end his life as he was subjected to harsh punishment by a teacher.

In his suicide note addressed to his father Ravi Prakash, Navneet wrote, “Aaj 15-09-17 mera pehla exam tha. Meri class teacher ne mujhe 9.15 tak rulaya, khada rakha isliye kyunki woh chaapluson ki baat maanti hai. Aaj maine soch liya hai ki main marne wala hoon. Meri aakhri ichha meri ma’am ko kisi bachhe ko itni badi saza na dene ko kahein.”
A case has been registered against the school management and investigations are on.
