Rashmi Yadav, a resident of Mundawar area in Alwar district, had ended her life barely three days after she got admission to the first year MBBS course in AIIMS Jodhpur. In the suicide note she wrote, “Please forgive me maa and papa. I didn’t want to hurt you, but I can’t live without self-respect. Sir (addressing to an unknown teacher), I am sorry. You scolded me very harshly. I couldn’t even say sorry. I am really very very sorry. Please don’t this to anyone else. You may have a great attitude, but your behavior with me was not right today. Sir, my school was great and I have good manners. Mummy (addressing to her mom), some people are not good”. The victim’s father – Ramniwas Yadav, a principal by profession – lodged an FIR against an unidentified teacher.
