Mumbai, October 29: In an unfortunate incident in Telangana, a Class 10 Gurukul school student allegedly died by suicide after she was harassed for informing about corruption. The deceased student was later identified as Varshita (Varshitha). She was said to be a Class 10 student at Government Gurukul School in Vangara. It is reported that Varshita ended her life after she was allegedly harassed by her school principal and vice principal after she reported the administration about the existing corruption in school supplies.

According to a report in Telangana Today, Varshita was the school's topper and captain. She had recently received an award from the district collector for her excellent academic achievements. It is reported that the Class 10 Gurukul student had recently returned to her hostel from Diwali vacation.
