Class 10 girl succumbs to depression, found dead in school washroom

In an unfortunate incident, Krittika Paul, a Class 10 student was found dead on June 21st with her wrist slit, inside the bathroom of GD Birla Centre for Education, Kolkata.

 The student left her class at around 1:30 pm to go to the washroom. After being absent from her class for an hour, the school authorities started looking for her and found her dead body. She was found locked in the washroom, lying in a pool of blood with a plastic bag wrapped around her face and injury marks on her left wrist.

After the incident, the school authorities informed the police about the girl's death. Kolkata Police and Forensic officials recovered some blood-stained blades, a pen and a three-page suicide note as evidence from the spot. The message 'I Quit' was inscribed on the wall of the washroom from where she was found.

She was taken to a nearby hospital where she was declared "brought dead". The marks of self-inflicted injuries found on her left wrist were not the cause of her death. According to the post-mortem report, the student had committed suicide and had died of suffocation. The girl's mother reportedly told the police that she had attempted to kill herself earlier as well, although she was her class's topper.
