“I dropped him off at school around 8.30 am and at 11.15 am, I received a call from the school saying that my child had gone missing. We looked for him everywhere and later to find out that he had committed suicide. The school is responsible for the incident. The school management and apartment security are not tight. Before punishing him, they could have called us and talked to us. We pay school fees, but our children are not safe”, said Moin Khan’s father.
