Nearly eight months have passed since the tragic death of 9-year-old student Amayra at the Neerja Modi School in Jaipur, yet the case has returned to the spotlight. Following the submission of a police charge sheet in court, Amayra’s parents, supported by the United Parents Association, held a press conference to openly question the adequacy of the investigation. During the event, Amayra’s mother, Shivani, became visibly emotional while reflecting on her daughter's life. She stated that her current struggle is not confined solely to securing justice for her own child; she is fighting to ensure that no other family has to endure such an unimaginable loss in the future.
A Mother’s Fight for Change
Addressing the media, Shivani shared that since losing her daughter, she has left behind her career and normal life to devote all her time to this pursuit of justice. She explained that having experienced the trauma firsthand, she is determined to prevent similar incidents from happening to other children. Shivani warned that without firm action against those found responsible, the environment of negligence might persist in educational institutions. She is calling on the administration to conduct a thorough, unbiased, and effective investigation into the entire matter.
Demands from Father Vijay Meena
Amayra’s father, Vijay Meena, emphasized the need for accountability for all individuals involved in the case. He formally demanded the immediate arrest of the accused and requested that additional charges related to abetment be added to the official record. Furthermore, Vijay Meena insisted that the school management, the principal, and other responsible officials face strict prosecution under all applicable laws, specifically citing Section 75 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act.
Concerns Over the 8-Month Delay
The incident, which occurred on November 1, 2025, within the premises of Neerja Modi School, left the city of Jaipur in a state of shock. While a charge sheet has finally been filed after eight months, both the parents and the United Parents Association believe that the current police actions remain insufficient and that many critical aspects of the case have yet to be addressed. The press conference was also attended by the state president of the United Parents Association, Arvind Agarwal, and spokesperson Abhishek Jain 'Bittu', both of whom supported the call for meaningful action. Amayra’s parents maintain that their battle is not limited to a single case but is intended to establish long-term accountability regarding student safety in schools so that no other parent has to mourn the loss of a child in such circumstances.
