In a heart-breaking incident of corporal punishment by the school administration, a girl student of 3rd standard died after she was allegedly made to stand in hot sun. The incident occurred at Amistanpur of Boothpur mandal, where Sahiti (7) was asked to stand in hot sun by the school management as she failed to pay the fee. She fell unconscious and later died. Her parents and relatives attacked Panchavati School, ransacked furniture blaming the management for the death.
