12-year-old boy dies after collapsing in school in Bengaluru; family gets CCTV camera footage one month later, alleges negligence
The family of a 12-year-old student who died after collapsing in a Bengaluru school has alleged medical negligence by school staff. CCTV footage suggests the boy was kept on school premises for 45 minutes before parents were notified.
Why it matters
The incident raises serious concerns regarding school safety protocols and emergency response standards in private educational institutions.
A 12-year-old class 5 student died after collapsing inside his classroom, at a private school in south Bengaluru, on June 10. The incident came to light more than a month later after his family viewed CCTV camera footage. They have alleged negligence by the school staff.
The deceased has been identified as Arhan Pasha, a student of New Blossom School in Weavers’ Colony on Bannerghatta Road. According to the family, the incident occurred on June 10. They initially believed the child had died due to natural causes.
However, earlier this week, after obtaining and viewing CCTV camera footage from the school, they alleged that school authorities failed to respond promptly despite the boy showing signs of distress.
The CCTV camera footage reportedly shows Arhan informing his teacher that he was feeling unwell before returning to the classroom. Moments later, he allegedly collapsed on his bench.
