What did Samantha write in her note?

She posted a note written by the mother of the teen and wrote, “#JusticeForMihir. This news has absolutely shattered me! It’s 2025. Yet, we’ve lost another bright young life, snuffed out because a few individuals, filled with hate and venom, pushed someone to the brink!” She also wrote that Mihir’s death is a reminder that bullying, harassment, and ragging are not just ‘harmless traditions’ or ‘rites of passage.’ She added, “They are violence – psychological, emotional, and sometimes, even physical. We have stringent anti-ragging laws, yet our students continue to suffer in silence, afraid to speak up, afraid of consequences, afraid that no one will listen. Where are we failing?” The actress wrote that this news cannot just be met with condolences and that it ‘demands action’. She wrote, “I hope the authorities get to the bottom of this, and I hope the truth is not silenced by the system. Mihir deserves justice. His parents deserve closure. Strict and immediate action must follow.”

Samantha further wrote, “Silence enables abuse. Let’s teach our children empathy and kindness, nor fear and submission.” Samantha ended the note with, “Mihir’s death should be a wake-up call. Justice for him means ensuring that no other student has to endure the same pain. We owe him that much.”
