There is no dearth of laws in our country to protect people from danger. But none of them could protect Aritry Adhikary, a ninth-grade student of the city's Viqarunnisa Noon School & College, who took her life on Monday hours after she and her parents were allegedly insulted by some teachers of the school.

Students of Viqarunnisa Noon School and College demonstrated in front of the institute's Bailey Road branch throughout yesterday over the suicide of one of their peers.
