Two more students Mandi Mokshith and Alli Hemanth Yadav also complained about stomach pain at around 7 am. They were shifted to Metpalli hospital. Later, Moksshith was shifted to Nizamabad government hospital for better treatment.

While Mokshith belongs to Atmakur of Metpalli mandal, Hemath is a native of Pathipalli of Mallial mandal. Both the students are studying sixth class. RDO Srinivas visited Metpalli hospital and enquired about the health condition of Hemanth.

Later, the MLA visited Peddapur gurukulam school and enquired about the incident by interacting with the students. He came down heavily on school staff for their negligence. He wanted the state government to respond on the issue and take action on the school staff responsible for the death of students.

It may be recalled here that a Class VIII student Rajarapu Ganaditya (13) died under suspicious circumstances in the school in the wee hours on July 26. Parents are panicked over the death of two students within a fortnight. They entered an argument with school staff for their negligence in discharging duties.
