Molested By Bus Driver, Thrashed By Principal, UP Student Jumps Off Roof

The police have registered a case against both men.

A class 12 student attempted suicide by jumping off the roof of her junior college in Uttar Pradesh's Fatehpur district after allegedly being beaten up and sexually harassed by a driver who drove one of the buses used to ferry the college's students. The driver also complained against the girl to the college's principal, who allegedly thrashed her and made her stand in the sun.

In his police complaint, the girl's father has said the attempted suicide was a result of the actions of both the bus driver and the principal. 

According to the father, the girl, who studies in an inter-college in Fathehpur's Khaga town, had stepped out of the campus while classes were on to buy something from a shop nearby. The bus driver saw her and, since this was in violation of the college's rules, he complained to the principal, who allegedly thrashed the student in front of the driver.
