New Delhi: The sudden death of a nine-year-old student at Lovely Heritage School in Mayur Vihar, east Delhi, has left her family in deep shock. Vikas, the father who lost his only daughter born after seven years of prayers, has raised serious questions over the functioning of the school management. He said his daughter was completely healthy and played badminton with him every day. On Wednesday morning too, he had sent her to school in normal condition, but within a few hours he received the news of her death.
Vikas, a gym trainer by profession, questioned why the child was taken to a hospital in Laxmi Nagar instead of the nearby Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital or Max Hospital when her health deteriorated. He alleged that in an emergency, instead of losing time, treatment should have been arranged immediately at the nearest hospital.
The father also questioned the availability of a doctor and a medical room in the school. He said that when the school charges nearly Rs 1 lakh annually for Class 3, why were emergency medical facilities and trained medical staff not available there. He also asked why only one teacher was present in the classroom at the time of the incident and where the other support staff were.
According to Vikas, his daughter had no earlier health-related problem. She played badminton with him in the park and remained active. After the incident, the family has demanded an impartial investigation and accountability in the matter.
For now, the actual cause of the student’s death will be clear from the post-mortem report. Police are examining CCTV footage and all aspects linked to the incident.
