Kolkata: A Class XI student died today after being hit by a classmate during a brawl. Both are students of Kolkata's Gangapuri High School.
The victim, 15-year-old Raja Mondal, was fatally hit by his classmate Santu Barua during a fight in the classroom this morning. The reason of the fight is not known.
"Raju Mondal, studying in Gangapur High School in Regent Park, was pushed by his friend following a dispute. He fell down and sustained severe head injuries and became unconscious. He was rushed to hospital, where he was declared brought dead," Additional Superintendent of Police (Industrial), Murli Dhar Sharma, said.
According to friends, Raja was injured and was sitting in school for hours, but the school authorities did not take him to the hospital.
"He was a very good kid. He never got involved in any fight. We later came to know that the two had fought during the prayer meeting as well in the morning, but the teachers didn't do anything. Raja's friend called his mother and informed her about his injury," said one of his friends.
Raja was rushed to Bangur Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries after a while.
"He was a bright student. But he died because of the school's negligence. His mother had to take him to hospital and Raja died half an hour after reaching there," said his neighbour.
