New Delhi: The eleven-year-old girl, who was on life support in a city hospital in Delhi after being allegedly tortured by her school teacher, has succumbed to her injuries.
The teacher and the principal of the school have been suspended.
The girl was punished by a teacher at a government school in Bawana on Wednesday. The child's parents allege she slipped into coma after her teacher banged her head and made her stand out in the sun for two hours.
The child was admitted with a severe seizure. Doctors had conveyed to the girl's father that chances of survival are remote.
The class-two student was apparently brutally punished for not doing her homework.
The family has lodged a complaint but there has been no progress in the case. Police say they are waiting for full medical reports of the child before filing an FIR.
