Kolkata:
In a tragic incident, an 11-year-old girl in Kolkata died today allegedly due to the trauma she suffered after she was locked in her school bathroom by her seniors eight days ago.
Her parents also suspect wrong treatment by a doctor who visited her yesterday and gave her an injection.
Last week, when Oindrila Das went to her school - Christ Church in north Kolkata - some seniors demanded Rs 100 from her. When she failed to get the money the next day, the students locked her in the bathroom, allegedly with the help of the school caretaker. They only let her out when school got over.
The 11-year-old fell ill and complained to her parents, following 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.
Yesterday, a doctor visited the girl at her home and gave her an injection. Today, 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.
A police complaint by the family was filed against the school yesterday.
"We will take action against the girls who locked her up," said Sharmila Sarkar, the Principal of Christ Church School.
