The Incident has come to light after the CCTV footage went Viral, in which the boy was writhing in pain throughout the night in the lap of the helper, but to people’s shock, the helper did not show any initiative to do anything; he just sat there holding him. He is now suspended.
The Incident took place late in the night on May 24 at the Tapovan Ashram School, near Navsari District of Gujarat, where a boy named Megh Shah, barely 13 Years old, had gone to study from the village of Khetia in the Badwani district of Madhya Pradesh.
The little student experienced a slight ache in the chest area, about which he also complained to the helper he was with, but the helper paid no heed and treated it as a very normal issue.
The caretaker and the hostel assistant, Harshad Rathwa, attempted to take care of the student by holding him in his lap all night, but the child continued to writhe in pain. All night he kept tossing and turning, but no one helped. By the next morning, he was immediately taken to the hospital, but by that time, it was too late, and the little child was gone.
As per the reports and what the CCTV footage has revealed, the student died due to a lack of proper medication facilities on time. Ahead of this, now the family has filed a complaint against the culprits at the police station. Further Investigation will soon take place.
This case has shaken the society and highlighted the need for proper medical facilities on time. Not only this, but the case also underlines the seriousness of a safe and secure child care in the hands of a responsible person because these days, diseases does not come with age, every small complaint or sickness should be checked once to be assured and if something goes wrong, it should be treated immediately.
