A tragic incident unfolded as a 16-year-old Dalit girl took her own life after facing a derogatory remark from her school headmistress. The girl was chastised for a seemingly innocent act of tapping her mother’s hands in prayer. Overwhelmed by the humiliation, she was found hanging by her mother the following day. Authorities are currently probing the circumstances surrounding the incident, including a possible denial to apply the SC/ST Act.
