A 15-year-old’s attempt to bring pressure on her lecturer almost turned tragic after she consumed pesticides at Kottagudem in Khammam district on Sunday.
According to police, the teenage student took the drastic step of consuming pesticides on the advice of her friend.
The girl, daughter of Venkat, is a resident of Palvancha and was pursuing Intermediate (BPC) from the Krishnaveni Junior College.
The girl's zoology lecturer Ravi Kumar was reportedly very strict with his students and used to beat them for being negligent towards their studies.
The victim was agonized by the corporal punishment and discussed the situation with her friend. The friend advised her that the best way to pile pressure on the lecturer to become more lenient was to intimidate him.
Following the consumption of pesticides, the girl was rushed to hospital where her condition is reported to be stable.
The hospital authorities reported the matter to the police who recorded the girl’s statement.
