Following the incident, Education Minister Madan Dilawar instructed officials to inspect the school, but the authorities there allegedly refused to cooperate with the visiting team.

Abhishek Jain Bittu, spokesperson of Sanyukta Abhibhavak Sangh, claimed while speaking to IE, “According to the information that we received from students and our sources, the girl was under stress due to the alleged harassment by a teacher, which she never told her parents. She was reluctant to attend school even today. Today, when the alleged harassment continued, she reportedly ran out of her classroom on the first floor and went up to the fourth floor before jumping.”

He also claimed that the school staff cleaned the area where the girl had fallen, erasing the blood stains. “We urge the government to conduct a thorough investigation and take strict action against those responsible,” he said.
