UP College Murder Case: Why Did Students Call Manjeet Chauhan a 'Mafia'?
The murder case involving college student Manjeet Chauhan, who killed another student, Surya Pratap Singh, has raised serious questions regarding bullying in educational institutions.
In a shocking incident at Uday Pratap College in Varanasi, a second-year BA student Manjeet Chauhan has been accused of murdering a fellow second-year BSc student, Surya Pratap Singh. The murder took place within the college premises and was captured on video, which has since gone viral. Currently, Manjeet is on a 14-day judicial remand, as authorities investigate the circumstances surrounding the crime and the reasons leading up to it.
Recent revelations hint at a history of bullying and harassment faced by Manjeet. According to a video released on Instagram by Manjeet's younger brother through an account called 'wealsoneedjustice,' the victim, Surya, along with his hostel mates, had been tormenting Manjeet for the past two years. They bullied him, using derogatory terms related to his caste, which severely affected his mental health and self-esteem. The brother claimed that despite enduring such ridicule, Manjeet had tried to resolve the issues peacefully until he reached a breaking point, that ultimately led to his drastic actions.
Manjeet's brother further clarified that Manjeet did not flee after the incident but voluntarily surrendered to the court with the assistance of lawyers. This case not only highlights the serious issue of bullying within educational institutions but also raises broader concerns regarding student safety and the responsibility of educational authorities in preventing such incidents. As the investigation continues, it remains to be seen how the college administration and local governments will address this growing concern among students and their families.
