New Delhi, Oct 27: A 14-year-old boy died allegedly after a scuffle broke out between him and four of his classmates in a private school on Thursday morning in north-east Delhi’s Karawal Nagar. The police have apprehended a minor.

Avdesh alias Prince, resident of Shiv Vihar, left for school along with his 12-year-old brother Amit around 7 a.m., said their father Arvind Kumar, a labourer in Gandhi Nagar.

‘Major fight’

Around 9.30 a.m., Amit was told that a major fight had broken out in school. “When he went inside the classroom to see, he saw his brother lying on the floor. There was no teacher present in the class either,” said Mr. Kumar.

Other students allegedly told Amit that a fist fight broke out between Avdesh and four of his classmates as they were not letting him complete his homework.

“From what we have been told, Avdesh was studying and the boys wanted him to go play outside. When he denied, which they started teasing and beating him,” said Mr. Kumar.

Seeing his brother on the floor, Amit shouted for help and approached the owner of the school who was allegedly in his office at the time. “He rushed to the classroom and splashed water on his face but he didn’t wake up. He then locked the room from the inside and made several phone calls. After almost half an hour, he unlocked the door after Amit shouted that his brother was dying,” Mr Kumar alleged.

Post-mortem today

Avdesh was taken to Gopal Nursing Home on Loni road, while Amit ran home to inform his mother Kanti. “She immediately left for the hospital but wasn’t allowed to go inside the room where Avdesh was admitted. But she barged in and saw him lying dead,” the father said.

The police said the minor was declared brought dead by the hospital after which his body was taken to Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital for post-mortem.

“The body has been preserved. There are no visible injuries on the boy’s body. The post-mortem will be conducted on Friday to establish the cause of death,” said DCP (north-west) A.K. Singla.

The officer said they were informed of the entire incident by the victim’s family. Preliminary investigation has allegedly revealed that the fight broke out between the victim and his classmate, who was immediately apprehended on charges of punishment for culpable homicide not amounting to murder.

“Other claims made by the family are being verified. If the role of other people appears in the investigation, legal action will be taken,” said Mr. Singla.

Surat, Jul 16: Woman police constable Sunita Yadav, who had a confrontation with a minister's son over lockdown violation which led to his arrest here in Gujarat, claimed she has resigned from service. However, a senior police official has denied it.

Prakash Kanani, the son of Gujarat Minister of State for Health Kumar Kanani, and his two friends were arrested on Sunday for allegedly violating the lockdown and night curfew orders in Surat, a COVID-19 hotspot, a senior police official earlier said.

Yadav, who is being hailed on social media for taking action against the minister's son, told news channels on Wednesday that she had put in her papers.

"I have resigned because I did not receive support from my superior officers. I was only doing my duty as a constable. It's the fault of our system that these people (like the minister's son) think they are VVIPs (very very important persons)," she said.

However, a senior police official here denied that she has resigned.

"She has not given her resignation. The inquiry is still on and technically she cannot resign at this juncture," Surat Police Commissioner R B Brahmbhatt said.

Yadav's action had led to the registration of an FIR and arrest of Prakash Kanani and two of his friends for alleged violation of lockdown and curfew norms in Surat city.

The arrests came after a video of a heated exchange between them and Yadav, who pulled up the trio for violation of curfew, surfaced on social media. The trio was later released on bail.

Since the incident, Yadav is being hailed on social media.

While some social media users called her "Lady Singham" (referring to the tough cop in the Hindi film "Singham"), some suggested she contest the 2022 state Assembly polls against Kumar Kanani, who represents Varachha constituency in Surat district.

Noida, Jul 28: A doctor admitted at a private hospital in Noida has been accused of sexually harassing a patient in his isolation ward, where both were undergoing treatment for COVID-19, the police said.

The 20-year-old woman, in her complaint to the police, alleged that the incident took place on Monday and based on that a case was filed at the local expressway police station, they said.

A senior police official said an investigation is underway and there might be lapses on part of the hospital which allegedly admitted a man and a woman in the same isolation ward, in violation of the norms.

The woman and the doctor had tested positive for coronavirus last week, according to officials.

"The woman was in the isolation ward of the private hospital. There was a man, a medical practitioner, who too was infected with coronavirus and was sharing the ward with her," Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, Noida, Ranvijay Singh said.

He said the woman alleged molestation and upon being informed, the police immediately lodged a case and initiated a probe into the matter.

"There appears to be some irresponsibility on part of the hospital too. We are communication with the medical departments to check whether the patients were being kept in accordance with the guidelines," Mr Singh said.

He said the accused is still in isolation but the police will reach out for his statement following due protocols of COVID-19.

"All necessary action will be taken as per the truth that will emerge after a thorough investigation," Mr Singh said.
