A nine-year-old Class 3 student died after collapsing inside Lovely Public School in Mayur Vihar, East Delhi, on Wednesday, with police examining classroom CCTV footage and recording statements from her parents and school officials.
According to Delhi Police, a PCR call was received at around 9:52 am after the girl was taken to Malik Radix Healthcare in Nirman Vihar. Doctors at the hospital declared her dead. The police have not publicly confirmed the cause of death.
The student was enrolled in Class 3 at the school in May Vihar. A CCTV recording from the classroom, cited in the police investigation, reportedly shows the girl gradually bending down before falling to the floor. The footage is being examined as part of the effort to establish the circumstances leading to the incident.
The death has drawn attention to the immediate response systems operating inside schools, including how staff respond to medical emergencies, how quickly students are moved to healthcare facilities and what records are maintained after an incident. However, the available police information does not establish whether the child had any known medical condition, whether there was an injury, or what caused her collapse.
The girl was taken to Malik Radix Healthcare in Nirman Vihar after the incident at the school. The hospital’s declaration of death was followed by a police inquiry. Investigators are examining the CCTV footage and other available evidence, while statements from the child’s parents and officials connected with the school are expected to form part of the investigation.
The case also places the school’s institutional response under scrutiny, although no allegation of negligence or wrongdoing has been established in the information released so far. The CCTV footage may help investigators determine the sequence of events inside the classroom, but the final circumstances will depend on the police inquiry and any medical findings.
For families, the incident highlights the importance of transparent communication when a serious medical emergency occurs on school premises. The report does not provide details of the school’s emergency protocols, the time taken to reach the hospital, or whether any first-aid intervention was given before the child was moved.
Police said further investigation was under way. Statements from the parents and relevant school authorities, along with examination of the CCTV footage and other evidence, are expected to determine the next steps in the case.
