Brahmavar: Suspicious Death of Student in Madrasa Hostel
Udupi: The tragic death of a 12-year-old student, Muhammad Zaid, at a madrasa hostel in Brahmavar has raised significant concerns and suspicions regarding the circumstances surrounding his demise. Initially reported as a suicide, the case has garnered attention following the assertions made by Zaid’s mother, Rihan Begum, who questions the official narrative.
Zaid, a resident of Varambally village, had been residing in the hostel at Ranganakeri for the past four months while pursuing his studies at the Heraadi Private School. After returning home for the holidays, he re-entered the hostel on October 11, only to be discovered lifeless in the bathroom the following night. The alarming details of his death—specifically, how he was found—have prompted his mother to voice her doubts about the events leading to this tragic outcome.
In light of these developments, a case has been registered at the Brahmavar Police Station, and an investigation is underway. The authorities are tasked with examining the circumstances of Zaid’s death, taking into account the mother’s suspicions and the broader implications of such incidents in educational institutions.
This incident highlights the need for thorough scrutiny of student welfare in madrasa hostels and the importance of addressing mental health issues among young individuals. As the investigation unfolds, it is imperative that justice is served and that the underlying factors contributing to this tragedy are thoroughly examined to prevent future occurrences.
