Meanwhile, the Ernakulam District Child Welfare Committee has called for an inquiry into the cause of the student’s suicide. Vice Chairman K. S. Arunkumar stated, “Whatever was mentioned in the complaint by the mother is serious. Even though the school authorities are denying it, an investigation should be conducted into this matter to bring out the truth. Action will be taken to ensure justice for the family.”

However, in an official statement by the GPS International School, which runs the Global Public School, said the school would not be able to take action against any student based on presumptions and denied the allegations.

“Parents, teachers, and students who were mentioned in these posts were called in to provide clarity and assess involvement. They denied any involvement. The school cannot act on the basis of presumptions and social media posts unless we receive evidence of any specific incident or act,” said the official statement.

It added that the school has provided police officials with social media posts and offered access to the CCTV visuals.
