Alappuzha: A tragic incident unfolded at the Navodaya School hostel in Chennithala early Thursday morning, where a Class 10 student, S. Neha, was found dead under suspicious circumstances.
Neha, daughter of Shiju and Anila from Arattupuzha, was discovered hanging in the corridor near the hostel washroom around 4 a.m. The Mannar police arrived on the scene shortly after and have launched an investigation into the matter.
Teachers and classmates expressed shock, saying there were no visible signs of distress. One teacher told Manorama Online that Neha had actively taken part in basketball practice on Wednesday evening and had appeared cheerful. “She was excited and happy after her dance performance at school last night,” he added.
The circumstances surrounding her death remain unclear, and police are expected to question staff and students as part of the inquiry.
