Police also said they have recovered CCTV footage from the school, which they say corroborates parts of the allegations.

The 16-year-old had jumped from an elevated Metro station in west Delhi on Tuesday, leaving behind a handwritten note in his school bag that alleged persistent mistreatment by the four staffers. All of them had been suspended last week by the school after the police registered a case.

Police said the notices summoned all four teachers to officially join the investigation.
