A primary schoolgirl collapsed and later died when a teacher allegedly punished all the students of the class at a private school here, police said.

According to the police, the incident occurred at the school in Gangammagudi in the city on Friday afternoon.

“A girl collapsed at around 1.30 pm in her classroom, allegedly when teacher was punishing the students. She was rushed to hospital by teachers but was declared brought dead,” a police officer said.

Later, the school authorities informed the parents about the incident and took the body to the girl’s home.

The girl’s father later lodged a complaint based on which a case was registered under Section 174 © of the CrPC and investigation was initiated, police said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
