Naming one of the teachers, functioning as academic head of the school, among others, Aarvey had written that he cannot live in this hateful world. According to Aarti Malhotra, the victim’s mother, her son was not only bullied or harassed by a group of students, but all the complaints lodged by him were also ignored, especially the academic head of the school.

Aarti alleged that the academic head had even passed negative remarks against her son and Aarti instead of taking action on the complaints.

Aarti, who is a teacher in the same school, said that her son was dyslexic and was not helped by the teacher concerned during the pre-board exam. That made him take the extreme step due to depression. A case for abetment to suicide was filed by the police on February 25.

The complainant has demanded a strict action against those allegedly responsible for the her son’s suicide. The body of the victim was handed over to the the family members after a postmortem examination, said a police official.
