The tragic death of 12-year-old Muhammad Zaid at a madrasa hostel in Brahmavar, Udupi, has sparked concerns over the circumstances surrounding his demise. Initially reported as a suicide, doubts have arisen after Zaid’s mother, Rihan Begum, voiced suspicions about the official account.
Zaid, a resident of Varambally village, had been staying at the Ranganakeri hostel for four months while attending Heraadi Private School. After returning to the hostel on October 11 following the holidays, he was found lifeless in the bathroom the next night. The unusual details of his death have led his mother to question the narrative provided by authorities.
A case has since been registered at the Brahmavar Police Station, and a formal investigation is underway. Authorities are now tasked with looking into the circumstances surrounding Zaid’s death, considering the mother’s concerns and the broader context of student safety in educational institutions.
This incident underscores the urgent need to ensure proper care and mental health support for students in madrasa hostels. It is crucial that the investigation addresses all aspects of this tragedy to prevent similar incidents in the future.
