History Suicide Incidents There have been multiple suicides of students from DPS Bhopal.
A Class XI student named Adityaman Singh, a well-known singer, hanged himself in his home, convinced he won't be allowed into Class XII, allegedly due to a rule which enabled the school administration to discontinue the admission of a student who performs poorly in Class XI.
Parents say that they were called twice by then vice-principal, Vandana Dhupar, and had been warned that if their child doesn’t perform, he will be expelled as per the rules. Following the suicide, however, the school administration denied any existence of such a rule, and claimed that Adityaman had not failed.
Four Months after this incident, a Class VII student also hanged himself, leaving a note blaming poor marks for his decision.
