A 14-year-old girl named Sai Deepti committed suicide by hanging herself with the ceiling fan at her house in Malkajgiri after her school humiliated her for not paying fees on time.

Deepti was studying in Class 9 at Jyothi High School, Malkajgiri.

Sai Deepti's school management humiliated her for non-payment of fees.

Deepti's family was going through a major financial crisis for a long time. As a result, Deepti's father, an auto driver by profession, was not able to pay her school fee on time.

The school authorities, however, due to non-payment of dues didn't allow Deepti to write the exams. The action taken by the school authorities led the innocent girl into depression and therefore, she decided to commit suicide.

Deepti also left a small handwritten note for her mother saying 'sorry'.

Deepti wrote 'sorry' in her suicide letter to her mother.

Meanwhile, the Child Rights Organisation has demanded strict action on the school and alleged that the school management is responsible for the death of the 14-year-old girl.

The Malkajgiri police had registered a case against Jyothi High School. On the other hand, the education department has also initiated an investigation.
