GANGTOK, 12 July: A 15 year old boarder at Tashi Namgyal Academy here, died in her sleep last night. The teenager had arrived only last evening to rejoin school after her summer vacations and was found dead when the ayah on duty went to wake her up at 5 a.m. it is informed.
The cause of death has not been ascertained as yet. The teenager’s father, in a press release circulated to newspapers today, has however alleged negligence and demanded detailed investigation into the case.
The school authorities, when contacted, while recognising the incident as a tragedy for the school, insist that there was no negligence at the hostel. In fact, officials at the school inform that the child’s mother, who arrived to claim the body today, cast no such aspersions and had to be convinced by the school authorities to allow an autopsy.
In fact, the school authorities were surprised when asked to comment on allegations of negligence levelled against them by the father. They have however assured that they will support a proper enquiry to establish the cause of death.
