Kothagudem: SFI district secretary Burra Veerabhadram has demanded action against a private school at Laxmipuram village of Burgampad mandal in the district over the death of a student of the school.
In a statement here on Saturday he said that the student, Shanmukh Reddy (4) studying nursery in Srinivasa Vidyaniketan was mowed down by the school bus when he got down from it and was going into his house.
The incident occurred when the bus driver was reversing the bus after dropping the child near his house on Friday evening. The student was killed due to the negligence of the school management and the bus driver, he complained.
