Hours after a Class VI pupil died at Fortis Hospital on Tuesday, purportedly as a result of a scuffle, numerous parents gathered outside the school to protest. Meanwhile, his family is demanding answers.
Sitting at the Vasant Vihar police station, waiting for the police to file a case, the child’s father stated, “He was OK when I dropped him off. He was an energetic child and enjoyed playing football. The 12-year-old went to school as usual on Tuesday morning, and a few hours later, he was pronounced dead at Fortis Hospital in Vasant Kunj.

His cousin was left to take the child’s mother home, who was distraught with grief.
