Mumbai, June 5: A 15-year-old girl who scored 94% in the SSC exam sustained serious injuries after falling from a first-floor balcony during a celebration at a tuition centre in Ghatkopar East on May 14. The incident occurred a day after the exam results were declared, during a gathering of around 150 students.

According to a report by Mid-Day, the girl reportedly fell into an open parking area while watching a dhol performance from the balcony. Her parents allege negligence on the part of the tuition centre, claiming the balcony was in disrepair and lacked safety measures. The girl suffered a fractured right arm, swelling on the left side of her head, and a brain clot.

Following a complaint by the girl’s parents, Pant Nagar police registered an FIR against the 38-year-old tutor and several staff members under Sections 125, 125(A), and 125(B) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which pertain to acts endangering human life or personal safety.

The girl’s mother, a bank employee, told the media outlet that, “The staff is responsible. The balcony had a broken railing and no safety mesh.
