A six-year-old girl who was allegedly hit on the head with a brick by a Class 3 classmate at a government school in Sector 20 is recovering under close medical supervision at PGIMER, Chandigarh. Her uncle said she is doing better than before and that doctors are monitoring her very closely.
The attack has led to action against the school. The Haryana Education Department has suspended the school principal and two teachers in connection with the incident.
Girl's Condition at PGIMER: Family Says She Is Improving
The girl's uncle said she had been receiving excellent care for the past two to three days. "She is doing better than before… The doctors are monitoring her very closely," he said.
He also said two FIRs have been filed in the case — one against the school and another against the child.
What the Family Says About the Attack
The uncle claimed the boy used to play aggressive online games, including PUBG, and said the boy's father had confirmed this. He described how the attack allegedly unfolded: the boy first called the girl "crazy," and when she objected, he told her that her father was upstairs and asked her to go with him.
To put it plainly, the family's account points to a sequence of events that a school should have caught early — a child being taunted, then led away, then hurt. Whether the school had any warning signs is exactly the kind of question the suspension of the principal and two teachers is meant to answer.
Principal and Two Teachers Suspended: What It Means
The suspension of the principal and two teachers signals that the Haryana Education Department is treating this as a failure of school supervision, not just an incident between two children. In our view, that is the right starting point. A six-year-old cannot be held responsible in the way an adult would be, and a school carries the duty to keep every child on its premises safe.
At the same time, the FIR against the child raises hard questions. The family's claim about aggressive online games, including PUBG, is their account, and it deserves a proper look — but it should not become a shortcut to blame. What matters most right now is the girl's recovery, a fair inquiry into how the school handled the situation, and clear answers for her parents.
For parents reading this, the takeaway is simple: ask your school what its supervision looks like during breaks and between classes. For the authorities, the message is that suspending staff is only the first step — the inquiry must explain how a Class 3 child was able to hurt a younger classmate with a brick on school grounds.
