An 18-year-old student was critically injured when he jumped off his school building in Agartala after teachers allegedly tried to get his girlfriend to tie a Rakhi on his wrist, police said today.
"Principal and other teachers of a private school here on Monday called Dilip Kumar Saha and his girlfriend along with their parents. They then asked the girl to tie Rakhi to Dilip and both of them refused to do so. Subsequently, Dilip went to the second floor of the school building and jumped from there," a police official said.
