According to police, Babu recently reported to the class teacher about three of his classmates who had created trouble in his (teacher's) absence. In order to take revenge, the trio cooked up a story and told their teacher that Babu was spreading rumours and linking his name with a woman colleague of the teacher.
The teacher along with two of his colleagues had allegedly used harsh words while reprimanding Babu, who was upset over this and took the extreme step of ending his life, police said.
