A 10-year-old class six student reportedly died under mysterious circumstances after she collapsed during the teacher’s day event at a prestigious private school earlier this month.
Her family claimed negligence on part of the school while the principal said the student fell ill and school authorities took her to the hospital immediately. Doctors declared her dead after the initial treatment. Digital Video Recorder (DVR) was taken by the police when her parents “approached us. We are cooperating, and statements have been taken.”
The girl, Tanishka Sharma, had collapsed at the school in Noida’s Sector 31, on September 4. She was taken to a hospital by the school authorities, where she was declared dead.
Weeks later, her mother, Tripta Sharma, posted a video on social media, calling for justice for her daughter.
The school, at the time of the incident, had reportedly said the girl had choked on food. But later, it was told that she collapsed - which raised suspicion among her family members. The post-mortem of the girl reportedly revealed that there were no external injuries, and the cause of death remained uncertain. The police had said that viscera samples were preserved for forensic analysis.
The girl’s family had reportedly accused the school administration of negligence, saying that she was healthy.
Her mother then filed a police complaint seeking an investigation into her daughter’s cause of death on September 8. A case has been filed against the school and its staff members.
