Bangalore, Aug 29: In the last few years incidences of teachers punishing students have often surfaced. Incidences of sexual abuse by teachers too have hit the news headlines quite a few times. At times such abuses, punishments have pushed students to end their lives. But here's a rare case of a head master of a school high school, ending his life complaining the indiscipline of students, particularly the SSLC students of his school.
A 53-year-old head master of DGMP school at R T Nagar here took the extreme step of ending his life unable to handle the mischievous students.
The teacher, who ended his life by jumping into the Cauvery river in Sangam near Srirangapatna near Mysore, has been identified as Vedanthachar, son of Rangachar, a resident of R.T.Nagar here.
In his death note, Vedanthachar is reported to have written that he was offering his life to the River Cauvery as he could not bear the indiscipline among his pupils specially the SSLC students who hardly concentrated on studies. He had gone missing from last Saturday and when his relatives came searching for him in the school, his death note was found. They immediately alerted the police about this and began efforts to trace him. However, Vedantachar remained untraceble till Tuesday August 27.
His boday was finally found in a decomposed state in the river near Mahadevapura on August 27 morning and his identity was established through the watch and clothes found on the body.
His body was fished out later and handed over to the family members after the autopsy.
