''It is total negligence on the part of the caretakers at the school,'' said Mr Mujeeb.
The caretaker Maheshwari admitted that she knew about the incident but she was on the ground floor and the fight between the boys happened on the first or second floor.
The police have registered a case against the older boy and are conducting an investigation.
"Since the accused is minor, we are mulling over options on how to go ahead with the case and also investigating the alleged negligence on part of the school," said Inspector K Srinivas.
