LAHORE:
Race course police registered an FIR against Children Complex School after a minor child reportedly died due to alleged negligence of the schools’ administration. Reportedly, four-year-old Moeez was injured after he fell down from a swing set. Speaking to the media, the victim’s father stated that his son was injured last week on Monday. He sustained injuries after falling down. However, the school administration did not bother to inform the family or shift him to the hospital. The child’s relative, who also taught at the school, shifted the minor to the hospital at her own discretion. When the victim reached the hospital, doctors pronounced him dead. The victim’s father said that the swing sets at the school were dilapidated and unsafe. He revealed that when three days later, the family complained to the administration, they turned a deaf ear to their complaints. Left with no choice, the victim’s family turned to the police for assistance. Police stated that a case has been registered and further investigations are underway.
