Confirming the development, SHO Awadhesh Singh Tomar of Govindpura police station told PTI that the incident occurred at around 7:30 a.m. The girl was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital by teachers after the fall.
According to the police, the child comes from an underprivileged family and had been repeating her class. She was scheduled to appear for an examination on the day of the incident but was reportedly unprepared, which may have added to her stress levels.
“She jumped off, and the guard at the campus tried to break her fall but failed in getting hold of her as per CCTV footage,” SHO Tomar stated.
Doctors attending to the girl confirmed that she sustained minor fractures. “The child was discharged from hospital after her leg and arm were plastered,” SHO Tomar added.
