A tragic incident has occurred in Balrampur, Uttar Pradesh, where a Class 2 student, Vaishnavi Tiwari, reportedly died after collapsing during class. The family of the deceased girl alleges that the loud sound from a DJ playing during a Ganesh immersion procession, which passed near the school, led to her sudden illness and death.
CCTV footage captured the moments before Vaishnavi fell unwell, showing her appearing distressed in the classroom. School staff immediately transported her to a hospital, but medical efforts were unsuccessful in saving her life. While the family strongly links the loud music to the event, the precise medical cause of death remains undetermined pending further investigation.
The family has since transported Vaishnavi's body to their native village in Siddharthnagar district for last rites. This incident has sparked concern among locals and highlighted the critical need for regulating sound levels near educational institutions and populated areas.
