Tragic Death of 9-Year-Old Student at Jaipur School Raises Questions About Safety and Supervision

Amaira, an only child, was immediately transported to a nearby hospital after allegedly falling from the fourth floor of her school.

Jaipur:

A 9-year-old girl died on Saturday afternoon after allegedly jumping from the fourth floor of a private school in Jaipur.

According to police reports, CCTV footage captured the girl climbing a railing before jumping off, while other students in the vicinity continued walking normally. The fall, approximately 47 feet, was fatal.

Police indicated that preliminary evidence points to suicide, though the exact motive behind the action remains undetermined.

Amaira, a class-4 student, was rushed to a nearby hospital after allegedly falling from the fourth floor of Neerja Modi School, where medical professionals pronounced her dead, according to Mansarovar Station House Officer (SHO) Lakhan Khatana.

Notably, when officers arrived at the school, they discovered that the area where the girl had fallen had been cleaned, with no visible bloodstains present.

The girl's parents have filed an FIR against the school administration, alleging death under suspicious circumstances. They have demanded an investigation into the role of teachers and staff, questioning how such an incident could occur within school premises.

The Neerja School administration has remained silent regarding the incident. Officials reported that the school administration failed to communicate properly and did not provide the principal's contact information. "They completely disregarded the education department. The representative of principal Indu Dave did not even respond to our call," stated Ram Niwas Sharma, District Education Officer.

Amayra was her parents' only child. Her mother works at a bank, and her father is employed by a private company. The family resides in the SFS area under Mansarovar police station jurisdiction. They filed an FIR approximately six hours after the incident, following the completion of postmortem procedures.

The SHO stated that the precise reason for Amaria's death will be revealed after a thorough investigation.
