11. Law Regarding
Suicide
 In the Indian Penal Code (IPC), suicide
is not considered a crime. However,
aiding or abetting suicide is punishable
under Section 306 of the IPC.
Additionally, attempting suicide was
decriminalized by the Mental
Healthcare Act, 2017, which replaced
Section 309 of the IPC.

12. Recent Cases
 The Kota student suicide cases refer to a series of suicides by
students preparing for competitive exams in Kota, Rajasthan,
India. Kota is known for its numerous coaching institutes where
students undergo intense preparation for entrance exams to
prestigious universities..
 A Class 9 student was found hanging from the ceiling fan of his
room in Hisar on Saturday. His family alleged that the 14-year-old
boy was repeatedly harassed by two of his classmates - both girls
who labelled him "effeminate".

13. PREVENTION
 Implement comprehensive mental health education programs in schools
to raise awareness about mental health issues, reduce stigma, and
promote well-being.
 Facilitate peer support groups to encourage students to share their
experiences, challenges, and emotions with their peers in a
supportive environment.
 Promote open communication between parents and children,
encouraging parents to be aware of their child's emotional well-being
and providing resources for them to support their children.

14. Conclusion
 Suicide is not a solution; it is a destructive outcome that
underscores the critical importance of addressing the root
causes and implementing preventive measures to
support individuals facing mental health challenges.
 Even in the darkest times, there can still be light or hope,
just like how stars are visible at night. This analogy
suggests that even during the lowest points, there are
reasons to keep going and seek help instead of
resorting to suicide.
