Class 5 Gurukul student dies while fleeing school in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri

In a tragic incident, a class 5 Gurukul student died after she attempted to jump from the hostel building while trying to escape in Telangana’s Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district on Monday, July 14.

Sandhya, a native of the Mahabubnagar district, was brought to the hostel on July 12 by her parents reportedly against her wish.

“Sandhya was admitted to the school on June 21. For the first 13 days, she was fine. But then she fell homesick and was sent back home,” said a Gurukul staff member.

After a week, the child was back at school.



“Sandhya came to the school along with her parents at 1:00 pm. Her parents left at 2:40 pm. The girl alleged she was brought against her will,” the staff member said.

On July 12, Sandhya was seen by the house master and other staff members. She had dinner and went to the hostel. “The watchman saw her at around midnight. However, when I went to take the roll call at 6:00 am, Sandhya wasn’t there,” the staff member said.

Sandhya’s body was found in the bushes. “It looks like she tried to jump the hostel wall. She died on the spot,” the staff member said.
