A 16-year-old boy allegedly died by suicide in his classroom at a residential school near Hyderabad on Tuesday. The Class 11 student, who was from a nearby town, was found hanging in his class by his classmates, said police.<\/p>\n
He hanged himself with a nylon rope used for drying clothes, they added. No suicide note was recovered.<\/p>\n
The student, who was preparing for competitive exams, went missing after the study hours that ended at 10 pm. A frantic search of all rooms in the school led to the discovery of his body.<\/p>\n
The other students took a lift from a stranger to take the student a nearby hospital where he was declared dead, police told NDTV. It’s not clear why the hostel warden did not arrange a vehicle.<\/p>\n
One of the victim’s friends alleged that pressure to perform better in exams had driven him to suicide. Meanwhile, his family members staged a protest in front of the college, demanding justice.<\/p>\n
The school has declared an unofficial holiday for two days and sent the students home.<\/p>\n
