Delhi Police are investigating the death of a 17-year-old Class 12 student who was found unresponsive at her home in Wazirpur JJ Colony, with her family alleging that the circumstances require further examination. Police said the incident was reported through a PCR call and that the student was taken to DCB Hospital, where doctors declared her dead.
The student was enrolled in Class 12 at a Sarvodaya Vidyalaya, according to a police officer cited in the report. The incident took place when no other family member was at home, and the girl’s mother told the police that she was found inside the house. No suicide note was recovered from the spot, the report said.
The body has been sent for post-mortem examination. The medical examination is expected to help investigators establish the circumstances and cause of death before any further action is taken. Police are recording statements from the girl’s parents and other family members as part of the inquiry.
The family has raised suspicion of a conspiracy, but the report does not establish that allegation. The police investigation will determine whether there is evidence supporting the family’s concerns or whether the death resulted from another cause. Authorities have not announced a final finding in the case.
The Wazirpur investigation comes amid continuing attention on the safety and welfare of school-age children in Delhi after the recent death of another 17-year-old student in Shahdara’s Krishna Nagar. That case involved a government school and prompted questions about school safety arrangements, allegations of negligence and the condition of closed-circuit television footage.
In the Shahdara case, the report said, the Delhi Women’s Commission chairperson visited the government school to review student safety and available facilities. Police said further action would be based on the post-mortem report, the family’s allegations, suggestions from the commission and the findings of the police inquiry.
The two incidents are separate, and there is no information in the supplied report linking them. However, their proximity has brought renewed attention to the systems surrounding adolescent safety, family complaints and institutional responses in Delhi. In the Wazirpur case, the immediate official steps remain the post-mortem examination, the recording of statements and the police assessment of evidence collected from the home.
Delhi Police are continuing the investigation, and the next formal developments are expected after the post-mortem examination and completion of the initial statements.
