Nagpur: A day after a class 3 student of Bhavan’s Bhagwandas Purohit Vidya Mandir, Ashti, reportedly died after falling into a pit inside the school, the baffled parents are now expressing concerns about the safety of their wards inside the Temple of Education! All they are left with is one question: whether it was an accident or sheer negligence on the part of the school?
Eight-year-old Sarang Nagpure, a resident of Jaitala, died at Bhavan’s Bhagwandas Purohit Vidya Mandir, Ashti here, on Thursday. Sarang was playing on the ground when the ball went inside the pit. He made an effort to retrieve it, but unfortunately, a concrete cover placed near the pit reportedly fell into the hole with Sarang inside. This resulted in severe injuries to Sarang, who was subsequently rushed to Alexis Hospital in the Mankapur area. However, the doctors declared the boy dead on arrival.
