The Kerala teen who was unfairly suspended over hugging a classmate during an arts festival in 2017 has scored 91.2 percent in the commerce stream in the standard 12 CBSE boards this year.
The teenager, who studied at St Thomas Central School in Mukkolakkal, Thiruvananthapuram, was subject to severe moral policing following the incident. He had not been able to attend classes regularly for close to 4 months.
"Hi Dhanya, today his 12th CBSE result came, he got 91.2 %, thank you once again for the support, without which he could not have achieved this." A small note from the mother of the boy who was suspended by a Tvm school for hugging a girl. Days you feel happy being a journalist.
