A 10-year-old student at a government school in East Vinod Nagar, Delhi, died after being allegedly punished by a teacher for not bringing a book to school. The family claims the girl was made to stand in the sun, after which she fell ill and eventually passed away during treatment. The Delhi Education Minister, Ashish Sood, transferred the teacher pending an inquiry to ensure a fair investigation.
The teacher was removed from the school's premises with immediate effect. The girl's mother, Anjali, was contacted by the school after her daughter's condition worsened, and she later found her daughter standing in the sun, appearing unwell, at the school. Anjali rushed her daughter to the hospital, but she died while receiving treatment.
The family and local residents protested outside the school, demanding accountability for the alleged punishment. The BJP MLA for the area visited the scene and stated that an inquiry would be conducted, and strict action would be taken against any school staff found responsible. The Delhi government is treating the matter with utmost seriousness, and if the inquiry finds any negligence or dereliction of duty, strict and decisive action will be taken.
