Hyderabad: A day after the death of six- year-old Md Ibrahim in a school fight in Tolichowki, police have started questioning the school staff and other students of the school.
Police said that CCTVs in the school could not record the incident as there was a power cut at that time. The police is yet to establish whether the incident happened inside a classroom or outside. Meanwhile, Ibrahim’s parents alleged that the school’s careless attitude on children’s safety led to the incident.
Banjara Hills police on Sunday questioned the classmates of Ibrahim and the teachers at the school to find out how the incident happened, but they could not get any clues.
“We found that there was a power cut on Tuesday from morning 11 am to 4 pm, due to which the incident could not be captured on CCTV. We are also inquiring where the fight between the kids occurred and if any of the staffers had saw them fighting,” Banjara Hills Inspector K. Srinivas said.
The police has also launched a probe to check for any negligence on the part of the school.
“If any evidence about their negligence is found, we will proceed accordingly,” the inspector added.
Since the boy who kicked Ibrahim is also a minor, he will be referred to the Juvenile Justice Board.
“As per the instructions from the board we will proceed on this issue,” he said.
Ibrahim’s father Abdul Majeed alleged that the school was careless in taking care of kids on the campus. “Had any teacher found them fighting or had provided immediate medical care to my son, he would have been alive today,” Majeed said.
Ibrahim suffered a serious injury in his groin, after he was kicked by a Class II student several times on the school campus on Tuesday. Later he underwent two surgeries at Niloufer hospital, but did not recover. He succumbed to injuries on Saturday as the infection had spread to the intestines. Police are investigating.
