Speaking to the media, DEO E Somashekhara Sharma said an enquiry was launched into the incident. The student’s father reportedly told the official that his daughter fell off the school building after suffering from dizziness. The official, who ruled out the version of the student’s father, said the truth would come out only after the student, who was now unconscious, speaks.

He urged parents and management of schools not to harass children to score high marks in exams.
