6-Year-Old Girl in Critical Condition After Class 3 Student Assaults Her with Stone, Flower Pot at Panchkula School

Police are questioning school staff as a medical assessment of the 8-year-old boy continues, while the 6-year-old girl remains critical at PGIMER, officials said.

  • On October 28, a six-year-old girl was critically injured after an alleged assault by an eight-year-old boy at the Shaheed Major Anuj Rajput Government Model Sanskriti Senior Secondary School in Sector 20, Panchkula, Haryana.
  • The boy allegedly lured the girl to a classroom by claiming her father waited upstairs, then attacked her with a brick and dustbin; CCTV footage purportedly shows him repeatedly hitting her head against a desk.
  • After initial treatment at Alchemist Hospital proved inadequate, the girl was transferred to the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in Chandigarh, where she remains hospitalized for critical injuries.
  • Police have launched an investigation into school administration, DCP Amrinder Singh confirmed, while the boy undergoes a mandatory medical assessment standard for children aged seven to 12 years.
  • The girl's uncle, Fazil, questioned why school surveillance failed to prevent the attack, as authorities examine how staff overlooked the incident despite CCTV monitoring from the principal's office.
