Jaipur School Death After Fourth-Floor Fall of 12-Year-Old Triggers Multi-Agency Probe

Police scrutiny of CCTV plus forensic evidence continues alongside an education-department inquiry.

Overview

  • The victim, identified as Amaira, a Class 6 student at Neerja Modi School and the only child of her parents, was declared dead at a nearby hospital.
  • CCTV footage shows the student climbing a fourth-floor railing and jumping, a police official said, while investigators have not concluded whether it was suicide or an accident.
  • A Forensic Science Laboratory team examined the scene, evidence was collected, and a post-mortem was conducted as officers interviewed potential witnesses.
  • Parents’ representatives allege the girl was distressed by a teacher’s behaviour and accuse the school of cleaning the spot, and a district education officer said an inquiry team was denied entry.
  • Rajasthan’s school education minister ordered a formal probe by the district education officer and warned of action if negligence is found, as the school has not issued a public statement.
