A six-year-old boy who was locked in a bathroom for several hours allegedly by his school teacher as a punishment for not completing his homework, has finally lost the battle of life after remaining ill for over 55 days.
Pankaj, a kindergarten student of Rajkul Senior School Kamela in Gharonda sub-division, was locked in a bathroom for over several hours on December 27 last year by his teacher after he failed to complete his homework.
The boy remained in a state of shock due to alleged inhuman and insensitive attitude of the teacher before falling sick. He finally died on February 19.
Parents of the boy Jaiver Singh and Reena have held the school authorities responsible for the death of their child claiming that after locking Pankaj in the bathroom, the teacher forgot to open the bathroom door.
It was only after the school was over that his elder brother Sagar informed the bus driver that his brother had not arrived yet.
Even after undergoing treatment at several places, Pankaj attended school for a day before plunging into shock again.
However the school manager Bablu Rana has said that the child had been suffering from various diseases and ultimately succumbed to it, a fact which was denied by the parents of the child.
The district administration has ordered a probe into the incident.
