Reports claimed that the girl was punished by teacher who allegedly asked her to stand outside the class in Sun.

The case has triggered outrage and raised serious questions about student safety and accountability in schools. The family has alleged that the girl was repeatedly harassed and physically punished by a teacher. They claimed that the alleged treatment affected her mental health and pushed her into severe depression, after which she required hospitalisation.

However, the allegations have not yet been independently established and the school's version of events differs from that of the family.

Teachers deny allegations, say family was informed

According to statements shared during the controversy, school staff have denied abandoning the child or ignoring the situation. Teachers reportedly said that they had called the student's family and handed the girl over to them when concerns arose.

The family, however, has accused teachers of negligence and demanded a proper investigation into the circumstances surrounding the child's illness and subsequent death.

The matter remains highly sensitive, particularly because it involves a minor student. Any conclusions regarding the exact cause of her medical condition or death will depend on official findings and any investigation conducted by the concerned authorities.
