A class seventh student of a private school sustained multiple injuries after he mysteriously fell off the third floor of the school building. The incident took place on Friday morning in East Delhi's Vivek Vihar area. How the boy fell or what circumstances led the boy to fall is being looked into by the police.

According to the police, the 13-year-old boy fell from the third floor of the school building. The police received a call around 10:50am stating that the student had fallen off. He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he is currently undergoing treatment. The director of the school said that the incident occurred around 8:30 am after the school assembly got over. The examinations are currently going on in the school and as per norms, the bags of the students are checked by the class monitor. "The student objected for getting his bag checked and a fight erupted. The incident has been captured on the CCTV. It appears that the boy first threw his bag and then jumped off," said the director.

The family members of the boy stated that it was negligence on part of the school authorities. They demanded a thorough probe should be carried out. The police have seized the CCTV footage and are investigating how the boy fell. Other students who were present in the class will also be spoken too.
