Sixth Class Girl Dies After Falling From Jaipur School Roof, Investigation Underway

A Class VI student at the Neerja Modi School in Jaipur reportedly died on Saturday after falling from the rooftop. After arriving at the scene, police and forensic experts started conducting thorough investigations into the incident.

SHO at Mansarovar Police Station, Lakhan Singh said, the girl was immediately taken to Metro Mas Hospital where the doctors declared her dead. He further said that the police have started collecting statements from the eye witnesses though no complaint has been lodged so far.

Taking serious note, Education Minister Madan Dilawar deeply condoled the death of the student. He directed the District Education Officer to probe this incident and present a detailed report. He termed the incident very unfortunate and said severe action would be taken in case of any negligence or wrongdoings on any part.

On the instructions of the minister, Additional District Education Officer Sanjay Srivastava visited the school, along with other officers of the Education Department, to take stock of the situation. An investigation would proceed with complete transparency and due process of law, while stern action would be taken against the accused, he said.

In fact, serious allegations of "destruction of evidence" in this case have been leveled by the Congress Councillor Karan Sharma: when he reached the school within a short time after the incident, students at the school told him that the victim identified as Amayra was already taken to the Metro Mas Hospital. Sharma further claimed that attempts to wash away crucial evidence were made by pouring water right from the fifth floor to the ground.

However, authorities have not verified the accusations so far, and the case of her death is now under investigation.
