He stated, "Whosoever is guilty of forcing Fatehpur's talented daughter Priya Maurya to commit suicide, the government will conduct a fair investigation and take strict action against the culprits. Everyone, including the victim's family, should remain patient and allow the police to take action to ensure justice for the daughter."
"I am deeply saddened by this incident. I express my heartfelt condolences to the victim's family and pray for the departed soul's peace and for strength for the bereaved family and supporters. I will meet the victim's family soon," he added.

About the incident
Reportedly, Priya's tragic decision came after she was allegedly scolded by her school principal following her complaint about the inappropriate behavior of the school bus driver. On Tuesday, Priya had informed her family that the bus driver, Shivcharan, had misbehaved with her. The family took the matter to the school, but instead of reprimanding the driver, the principal allegedly scolded Priya. Following this, Priya reportedly became quiet and returned to her class.
However, during the fifth period on Wednesday, Priya, citing nausea, left the class, went to the second floor of the school, and jumped. The incident was captured on the school's CCTV.
The police have registered a case against the principal and the school bus driver under relevant sections.
