On August 3, Arvind Deokar killed himself, allegedly consuming herbicide in one of the two classrooms. Police said a suicide note that he sent on WhatsApp to a relative suggested that he was upset over not being able to retain nine of his students who left for another school, 2 km away.
Sheikh is the principal of that school, Blue Bells, located on the second and third floors of the building inside a narrow, winding lane in the Kondhwa Khurd area on the outskirts of Pune city. And over the past 24 hours, she's been patiently explaining to callers that “the floors they sealed are not ours” and that “we are here on rent, too”.
