The Hon. Mano Ganesan
Mano Ganesan raised two separate incidents concerning a student who later died by suicide after jumping from a fourth floor, noting that an earlier incident at South Colombo school was already subject to a police B Report. He said the immediate alleged cause was humiliation by a tuition class proprietor/teacher in front of other students, after which the student had sought counselling for stress. He urged the authorities to examine the matter without politicising it, while noting that the proprietor was reportedly a Colombo North organizer of the governing party, though he did not attribute blame to the party.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 There are two incidents. The first occurred late last year at the South Colombo school. The second occurred after she left that school—about a month later. She had sought counselling due to stress. Thereafter she died, jumping from the fourth floor. The reason attributed is that at the tuition class, the proprietor/teacher berated and humiliated her in front of other students. That drove her to that decision. The first incident is separate; the police B Report is fine—look into it. I raise this with goodwill, not as politics. If I wanted to politicize, I could have done so during the election; I did not. The second incident involves the proprietor who is an organizer of your party in Colombo North. Understand me: I am not blaming the party, but this is wrong. Please look into it.
