Kolkata: The death of an 11-year-old girl allegedly due to trauma after being locked in the school bathroom by her seniors have sparked angry protests against a Kolkata school.
Protesters on Thursday ransacked the Christ Church school in north Kolkata, breaking computers and furniture while demanding action against school authorities.
This comes after Oindrila Das, a student of class 6 in the school, died on Wednesday, eight days after her seniors locked her in the bathroom for not giving them Rs. 100. They were allegedly helped by the school caretaker. They let Oindrilla out only when school got over.
She fell ill and complained to her parents, after which she was admitted to a nursing home. Oindrila's family says the doctors found nothing physically wrong and released her from the nursing home on Monday.
She had gone into a depression following the ragging incident, her family alleges. Her parents also suspect wrong treatment by a doctor who gave her an injection on Tuesday. When she was taken to hospital, she was declared brought dead.
"She was traumatised in school. That why she fell ill. There is also medical negligence. The doctors didn't treat her properly," her mother Rekha Das alleged.
Oindrila's parents have filed a police complaint against the school.
"We will take action against the girls who locked her up," said Sharmila Sarkar, the Principal of Christ Church School.
