11-year-old girl dies allegedly due to trauma after she was ragged in school

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.
