When other students informed the school staff, she was given firstaid before being rushed to the hospital. According to a report by the Deccan Chronicle, she suffered an injury on her forehead and started bleeding from the nose. Her parents were informed too. The doctors diagnosed her with very low BP and asked the school staff to shift her to MGM hospital. However, she breathed her last before reaching the hospital.
