LUCKNOW, Dec. 6 -- A Class 6 student died in Lucknow on Friday morning after he collapsed during an examination at Montfort Inter College in Mahanagar, the school authorities said. This is the third such incident involving a school student in the state capital since 2023 and the second one at the same school. The student, Amey Singh, became unwell and collapsed after submitting his answer sheet, the school authorities added. The child was aged about 12 years. Teachers rushed him to Bhaurao Deoras hospital in the Mahanagar area, where doctors attempted to revive him. However, there was no response and he was declared dead. Dr Ranjeet Dixit, chief medical officer at BRD Hospital, said the boy was brought in at 11:05 am in an unconscious state. Dr Dixit further said the school administration informed that the student had a neurological problem, which was already being treated by the doctor. Amey's father, Sandeep Singh, a resident of Vikas Nagar, reached the hospital soon after receiving the news. Singh was unavailable for comment when HT tried to approach him multiple times. He is employed with a prominent life insurance firm. Mahanagar police station incharge Akhilesh Mishra said that the child's father refused a post- mortem examination and gave a written application that the child was undergoing treatment for a neurological problem, after which the body was handed over to them. In a statement, Brother Jinu Abraham, principal of Montfort Inter College, said, "It is with a heavy heart that we inform that the Unit Test-2 examination was underway at Montfort Inter College on Friday (December 5). Amey Singh, son of Sandeep Singh, a student of Class 6-C, was also taking the exam. After completing the exam, he submitted his answer sheet to the invigilator and immediately collapsed on his seat...Subsequently, school staff brought Amey Singh to the school's first aid room. They began administering CPR. Without delay, they brought him to the Civil Hospital, Mahanagar, Lucknow, near the school..." Dr Arun Tiwari, senior paediatrician at Lok Bandhu Raj Narain Hospital emphasised the need for regular cardiac screening for school-goers, trained staff in schools and immediate medical response protocols during school emergencies. In September 2024, a Class 3 student of the same school in Mahanagar succumbed to a cardiac arrest on the school premises during the recess. In 2023, 14-year-old Class 9 student of City Montessori School, Aliganj branch, fainted due to a suspected heart attack in a classroom and was later declared dead on arrival in a hospital....
