**Student Forced to Stand in the Sun for Two Periods**
According to reports, 15-year-old Navjot Singh was a student at a prestigious private school in the nearby city of Dasuya. On April 27, the school administration subjected him to severe punishment for a minor infraction, forcing him to stand in the scorching sun for the duration of two class periods. Overwhelmed by this ordeal, Navjot Singh ingested a poisonous substance and was subsequently admitted to a hospital. After battling for his life for several days during treatment, he passed away.
