Suicide Incidents
There have been multiple suicides of students from DPS Bhopal.
A Class XI student named Adityaman Singh, hanged himself in his home, convinced he won't be allowed into Class XII,[4] allegedly due to a rule which enabled the school administration to discontinue the admission of a student who performs poorly in Class XI.[5]
Parents say that they were called twice by then vice-principal, Vandana Dhupar,[6] and had been told that if their child doesn’t perform, he will be expelled as per the rules.[7] However, the school administration denied there was any such rule.[8] A day after the suicide, school administration clarified that Adityaman had not failed.[8]
Four Months after this incident, a Class VII student also hanged himself,[9] leaving a note blaming poor marks for his decision.[10]
