Decisive administrative action has been enforced following a violent attack on a young female pupil at the government primary school situated in Sector 20 of Panchkula. Responding to the grave lapse inside the institution, the District Elementary Education Officer placed two serving Junior Basic Training teachers under immediate suspension. The suspended staff members have been officially identified as Simranjit Kaur and Pooja Rani. According to the regulatory order, both educators will report to the office of the District Elementary Education Officer for the entire length of their suspension period.
Savage Attack Inside the School Premises
The distressing episode occurred on October 28 between 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM within the Government Model Sanskriti Senior Secondary School compound. A third-standard male student, aged only eight, turned violently upon the female student. The assailant reportedly smashed the victim's head against a classroom bench, struck her repeatedly using a brick, dragged her violently by her necktie, and delivered sustained kicks until she collapsed into complete unconsciousness. The injured child had to be rushed immediately to PGIMER in Chandigarh for urgent medical care, where doctors have since indicated that she is out of immediate danger.
Negligence Case Registered Against Administrators and Guard
Acting upon the formal complaint submitted by the injured child's uncle, the Panchkula police initiated criminal proceedings three days after the assault, formally registering an FIR on Saturday. Investigators booked the school principal, the class incharge, and an on-duty watchman under Section 75 of the Juvenile Justice Act alongside Section 125(b) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The complainant underlined that gross institutional negligence and an absolute breakdown of adult supervision permitted such brutality to unfold unchallenged inside an academic facility.
Provocation and Deceit Preceded the Violence
Elaborating on the circumstances leading up to the brawl, the child's uncle mentioned that the two children had no prior acquaintance with each other. On October 28, their respective classes were combined into a shared seating arrangement. While sharing space, the male student persistently annoyed the girl, prompting her to call him crazy in retaliation. Enraged by the remark, the boy schemed against her. As the period concluded, he deceived the girl by falsely claiming that her father had arrived to pick her up, thereby luring her upstairs to an unoccupied first-floor room to carry out the assault.
Security Cameras Caught Violent Episode
Surveillance camera footage from the facility documented the harrowing sequence. Beyond using the furniture and a brick as blunt weapons, the boy used a steel waste bin and floral pots to strike the defenseless girl. After kicking her into an unconscious state, the boy walked out and secured the room from the exterior. Later, an institutional guard locked the door from the outside without checking the interior, leaving the critically injured child trapped and bleeding on the floor for nearly two hours. Medical examinations revealed that she suffered a fractured nasal bone and required four stitches on her head.
