Jaipur School Death Under Probe Over Bullying Allegations and Safety Lapses

A five-member state panel is reviewing teacher conduct alongside campus safeguards after the nine-year-old’s Nov. 1 death.

Overview

  • The family alleges year-long bullying and says repeated complaints to staff were ignored, including a WhatsApp audio in which the child pleaded not to be sent to school.
  • CCTV reviewed by investigators shows the child approaching a teacher twice minutes before the fall, but the footage lacks audio despite CBSE expectations for classroom recordings.
  • Police have recorded statements after the parents filed an FIR against the school administration under BNS Section 106, and officers noted the fall area appeared cleaned with no visible bloodstains.
  • Rajasthan’s education department has constituted a five-member committee to probe safety protocols, supervision and teacher response, with findings expected next week.
  • Officials say classmates used abusive language toward the child and she told peers she did not want to attend class that day, while the school has not issued a detailed public response.
