New Delhi: An 11-year-old student, who was hit by a javelin, succumbed to his injuries on Monday. The boy was battling for life at AIIMS Trauma Centre after a javelin, thrown by a senior student during a practice session, pierced his skull at a school playground in CR Park area of South Delhi.
According to the police, Roshan Lama, a standard VI student of Sarvodaya Government School was roaming with his friends in the school playground around 4 pm on October 2.
"It was recess time and some students of Class XII were practicing throwing of javelin which hit Lama on his head near the left ear. The impact was so hard that the boy collapsed on the ground and started bleeding," a police official had said.
According to the father of the victim, identified as Suraj Lama, he was informed by the school authorities about the incident at around 4:15 pm. He was directed by the school principal to immediately reach the private hospital as his son was injured. After his arrival at the hospital, his son was taken to AIIMS and the police were also informed.
The injured boy's parents have accused the school management of being responsible for the incident, arguing that how could the senior students manage to get the javelin during recess time.
