The principal Ghanshyam Amreliya was found hanging from the ceiling fan at around 12:30pm. In a suicide note found on him, Amreliya blamed the Taluka Primary Education Officer and three others for mental torture, which led to him to take the drastic step.
One of the staff members spotted Amreliya hanging and informed police.
According to police sources, the higher officials named in the suicide note were allegedly demanding Rs 25 lakh from him for not reporting his ‘liquor drinking’ and saving his job and suspension.
The note recovered by police stated: “When I got transferred here from Anidiya village, higher officers demanded Rs 25 lakh. Also, the Pay Centre school principal demanded Rs seven lakh and asked me to meet in person. I met him on the Jamwala school campus. He had told me that he had to give money to the district education officer. He told me not to talk over the phone regarding this issue.”
The note further reads: “The principal told me that I attend school in a drunken condition and demanded money. I had given Rs 25 lakh cash to Jayesh Rathod and Goswami. Another teacher from my school extorted Rs four lakh from me and threatened that if I asked for this money back, he would report that I was found drunk on duty. He even threatened to kill me. So, I am ending my life today.”
“I am tired of the harassment from higher officers. I no longer want to live,” the teacher reportedly wrote in the note.
Later, Amreliya’s daughter told reporters that her father used to get phone calls after which he used to get scared and depressed. "He used to remain aloof for the last fortnight. He had mentioned about the blackmail by officials to the family too. He had also taken a loan from the bank and paid some amount. But I don't know the exact details of the amount," she said.
The girl said her father used to have a drink occasionally and the officials named in the suicide note used to blackmail him saying that they would get him suspended and inform the higher education department officials that he came drunk to the school.
Rahul Tripathi, superintendent of police, Gir-Somnath, told TOI: "An FIR has been lodged against the four persons following a complaint given by the deceased's daughter. We are getting call detail records of the accused and investigating the circumstances that lead to his suicide."
Those named are Jayesh Rathod and Jayesh Goswami, both TPEOs, Dilip Gadhesariya, principal of Jamvala School and Valabhai Jhala, a teacher in Thordi primary school. They have been booked under relevant IPC sections of abetment to suicide.
