An 11-year-old student died in a gurgurm school on Monday morning under suspicious circumstances, police said. The incident occurred around 8.40 am at a private school in sector 64. The girl, a class four student, was captured on CCTV falling unconscious while walking towards her classroom. The girl was taken to a nearby hospital by the school staff, where the doctors declared her dead, the police said.

According to the police, the cause of her death could not be ascertained by post-mortem and, as such, the viscera will be sent to the forensic science laboratory, Bhondsi, for examination.

In the CCTV footage, the girl was climbing up the first step of the staircase when she fell. Police say her body has been handed over to her family after a post-mortem. Dr Sudhir Kumar, who did the post-mortem, told PTI that the girl had a head injury, but it was external and could not be said to have caused her death.

“The girl also had food. The family also did not reveal any old medical problems. In such a situation, it was not understood how she died suddenly,” Dr Kumar said.
