Insulted at being called a gay, Mumbai teen jumps off skywalk, survives

Mumbai, Mar 18 (IBNS) Frustrated at being called a gay, a 17-year-old boy attempted suicide by jumping off a 40-ft high skywalk in Ulhasnagar on Wednesday, mid-day reports.

Bhushan Bhimrao Mundokar survived the fall and only fractured his left arm. He is currently recuperating at the civic-run Central Hospital in Ulhasnagar.

A student of  SST College in Ulhasnagar-4, Bhushan said, "My classmates have been teasing me 'baylya' (Marathi slang for gay) for the last two months, but I would ignore them."

" On Wednesday, I left home at 11 am as usual and took the skywalk to crossover to the eastside to take an auto for college. While walking on the skywalk, I suddenly remembered the insults I was being subjected to on a daily-basis. The next thing I remember after regaining consciousness is that I was on a hospital bed with a fractured arm."

 Bhushan added that  he is scared to go back to the college and will miss out on a year as the final exam starts today because he won't be able to appear due to his injury.
