NEW DELHI: A Class-III student of Lovely Heritage School in Mayur Vihar Phase-II died Wednesday morning after collapsing in her classroom. Her relatives alleged that school authorities delayed medical assistance by taking her to a hospital in Nirman Vihar during peak-hour traffic, instead of nearby medical facilities. She was declared dead at the hospital. The principal, Bhawna Malik, countered the allegation, saying that a hospital near the school referred the girl to a better-equipped facility and the teachers accompanying her did the best they could at that moment. “She was among several children who were returning to their classroom. The teacher immediately picked her up and seated her on a chair. However, she did not regain consciousness.
CCTV footage shows the girl trudging into the classroom with a hand on her waist. Seconds later, she stops, places both hands on her waist, and begins to sway before collapsing.
