Ekisha Shah's family and friends
Ekisha Shah’s parents and family members have sought the intervention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in their daughter's suicide case. The girl’s parents have written a letter to PM Modi alleging that their daughter underwent numerous atrocities and was forced to end her life.
They have claimed that two teachers of Ahlcon Public school Rajesh Sehgal and Neeraj Anand used to physically and mentally torture their daughter. The victim’s parents have alleged that Rajesh Sehgal used to harass their daughter and when she tried to raise voice against the harassment, Sehgal and Anand deliberately failed her in the exams.
While mentioning the central government’s scheme, “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao”, Ekisha’s family said that neither their daughter could study nor did she survive. They have further alleged that the UP administration and school administration are doing their best to save the teachers.
The whole Shah family is the disciple of Kathak King Pandit Birju Maharaj. Maharaj had said that the girl was not only his student but also one of the rising stars of the country.
Ekisha's family have demanded security for themselves, CBI investigation of Ekisha’s suicide and cancellation of the school’s accreditation to C.B.S.E. They have also expressed a desire to meet the PM and explain more details of the case to him.
Last Wednesday, Ekisha Shah of Ahlcon Public School had committed suicide and was found hanging at her Noida Sector 52 residence. Family members had even blocked the Noida-Delhi link road from both sides for about five hours while demanding justice for their daughter. Noida Police has filed an FIR against two teachers and the principal under IPC sections 306 (abetment to suicide), 354 (sexual harassment and punishment for sexual harassment), 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) and the POCSO Act.
