Govt team visits La Martiniere in Kolkata to probe student's suicide

A team from the human resource development (HRD) ministry on Wednesday visited the La Martiniere school in Kolkata to review a case of alleged suicide by a student after he was given corporal punishment.

The premier Kolkata school came into the news after 13-year-old Rouvanjit Rawla allegedly committed suicide in February, after being caned by the school principal.

According to the school officials, a two-member team from the HRD ministry inquired about the sequence of incidents as they occurred before the alleged suicide.
