The Story in Brief
Police said on Thursday that the exact cause of death of 17-year-old Prince Soni will be known only after the post-mortem report. The Class 12 student died after allegedly falling ill at his school in Jaipur’s Jhotwara area. His family alleges he ate a patty from the school canteen, vomited, collapsed, and was kept on the premises for about 45 minutes before they were called. They took him to hospital, where doctors declared him dead. The school administration has not commented. Police have recorded statements from students and teachers. Hundreds of people protested outside the school on Wednesday.
The Indian Opinion
The family’s charge that the school kept Prince Soni on the premises for 45 minutes before calling an ambulance is grave, if true. But the post-mortem report, not indignation, must settle two questions: did the patty cause the death, and would earlier hospital care have saved him? Social media is already convicting the school. That is unfair. The police probe is the proper forum. The test will be the post-mortem findings and the timeline of the school’s response.
