Mother of 9-Year-Old Jaipur Student Battles Grief and Unanswered Questions, Reveals Teachers Ignored Repeated Bullying Complaints

New Delhi: Nearly three weeks after the heartbreaking death of 9-year-old Student, from a private Jaipur school, her family says they are still searching for answers – answers they believe the school owes them.

The young girl died on November 1 after jumping from the fourth floor of her school building. While the official investigation is still underway, the family claims the warning signs were ignored, safety rules were overlooked, and their daughter was left alone at her most vulnerable moment.

In an exclusive interview with Republic, student’s uncle, Sahil said “We still don’t know why she took her life”. Sahil, says the past 20 days have been a “nightmare of confusion, silence, and unanswered questions”.

“Even after 20 days, we don’t know why a 9-year-old girl took her life. The CBSE report has been released, and it has raised some glaring points about what was going wrong in the school — how unsafe it was, how kids were not taken care of. Hopefully we will get justice”.

He questions why evidence was tampered, why there was no psychological support system, and why safety norms existed only on paper, not in practice.

Bullying complaints were ignored. Student’s mother recalls repeated conversations with teachers and school staff about bullying. “My daughter shared incidents with me and I had discussed the same with the school coordinator and teachers. Last month, I even spoke to the parent of a student who had bullied her”.

She says her daughter trusted her teacher and went to her repeatedly—five times within 45 minutes—on the day of the tragedy, seeking help after classmates reportedly mocked her through remarks written on a digital slate.

“The student approached her teacher every time she was bullied. On the day of the incident, she raised her issues five times. Yet nobody stopped her from reaching the fourth-floor railing. No one was there to monitor her”.

“If CBSE has regulations, how many of those are being followed by schools?” asks Sahil.

The recent CBSE inspection found severe safety and policy violations at the school, including lack of monitoring, absence of counsellors, insufficient CCTV coverage, and missing safety protocols.

The family now left with memories, unanswered questions — and the hope that no other child becomes a silent victim inside a classroom.
