Even as the country is shocked with the violent incident at Haryana’s Panchula, reports suggest that the 8-year-old Class 3 student lured the 6-year-old kindergarten girl into the empty classroom on October 28 by telling her that her father was waiting for her.

The CCTV footage shows the boy violently attacking the girl.

WHAT HAPPENED ON OCTOBER 8?

The 8-year-old boy approached the KG student near the school exit/gate during dismissal (around 3:15 PM) and told her that her father was waiting for her on the upper floor. He took her to an empty first-floor classroom, where he banged her head against desks and walls, kicked her, and struck her with a brick and a flower pot/stone, according to the footage, her parents’ account and agency reports. It is further alleged that the girl was dragged for a significant distance, leaving her severely injured and in an unconscious state.

The attack went unnoticed by school staff. When the girl did not arrive at her regular pickup point, her family searched for her.

Chillingly, the accused boy later approached the victim’s family member and offered to take them upstairs, where she was found unconscious in a pool of blood.

The victim was rushed to hospitals and later referred to PGIMER, Chandigarh (PGI-Chandigarh), where she is undergoing treatment and is reported to be stable.

A departmental inquiry found that a single teacher was handling two combined classes of roughly 80 students, and the school had dismissed students without adequate exit monitoring.

POLICE ACTION

A First Information Report (FIR) has been registered against the school principal and the class teacher for negligence under the Juvenile Justice Act and BNS.

The 8-year-old boy was presented before the Juvenile Justice Board for a psychological evaluation and brain-mapping tests at PGI-Chandigarh.

The Education Department of Haryana has suspended two Junior Basic Training (JBT) teachers with immediate effect in connection with the alleged assault on a six-year-old girl at a government school in Panchkula.

The suspended teachers have been identified as Simranjeet Kaur and Pooja Rani. Meanwhile, the Haryana State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (HSCPCR) has taken suo motu cognisance of the incident involving the alleged assault on a kindergarten girl by a third-grade student inside the school premises. The Commission has directed the District Education Officer, Panchkula, to submit a comprehensive, point-wise factual report detailing the action taken by the Education Department in the matter.
