Delhi Police on Friday questioned four Class 10 students after their classmate jumped to his death from the Rajendra Place metro station on Tuesday afternoon.

The deceased boy’s father filed a complaint naming the school headmistress and three teachers, following which an FIR was registered. Police said the four classmates were asked whether they knew about any problems the boy was facing.

“We will question the headmistress and three teachers, who are named in the FIR, on Saturday. We have also preserved the CCTV footage of the school as well as other areas, including the metro premises, where the boy had gone that day. We have already spoken to the family members,” a police officer said.

The headmistress and the three teachers were placed under suspension on Thursday, soon after the FIR was lodged.
