About a week ago, the girl had told her family about it after which her father had informed school authorities. After this, the father was attacked by a group of boys.


When the matter was brought to the notice of the school principal, he warned the student of mending his ways else his name would be struck from the school.

A case of abetment to suicide against the girl's classmate has been registered.

Deoria Superintendent of Police (SP) Shripati Mishra said the victim's classmate has been sent to a juvenile home.


"We have recovered the mobile phone of the classmate which had some objectionable photos of the girl," said Mishra.
