A heartbreaking incident in Lucknow has left a family devastated. Thirteen-year-old Atharv, also known as Duggu, died after suddenly collapsing inside his classroom in the Jankipuram area. He was a Class 8 student and the only son of his parents. His father, Prem Singh, had dropped him at school that morning, just as he did every day. The family had no idea that their son would never return home. A short while later, the school called his father and informed him that Atharv had suddenly fallen unconscious in class.
Collapsed Inside the Classroom
The incident took place on Wednesday morning. According to school principal Meena Tangri, Atharv had just entered his classroom when he suddenly fell backwards onto the floor. His school bag was still hanging from his shoulders. Before the teacher and other students could understand what had happened, he had become unconscious. The incident created panic inside the classroom. Teachers immediately rushed to help him and called other school staff members. Atharv was then taken to the staff room. When they noticed no movement in his body, the school administration became concerned and immediately contacted his father.
Father Rushed to School
Prem Singh was shocked after receiving the phone call from the school. He rushed there immediately and, with the help of teachers, took his son to a nearby hospital. The family hoped that timely medical treatment might save him. However, doctors declared Atharv dead after examining him. The news left his father completely shattered. He broke down in tears at the hospital, while teachers and other people present tried to console him. Just a few hours earlier, he had dropped his son at school. Now he was returning from the hospital with the devastating news of his death.
The Family’s Only Son
Atharv was the only child of Prem Singh and his wife. Their hopes and dreams were connected to him. His sudden death has left the family in deep shock. The news also spread grief among neighbours and people who knew the family. Students and teachers at the school were equally shocked by the incident. The classroom where children had gathered for their regular lessons suddenly became the scene of a tragedy. For Atharv's parents, the loss is especially painful because they had raised their only son with dreams of a bright future.
Doctors Suspect Cardiac Arrest
The sudden death of a 13-year-old has raised questions about what caused him to collapse. Doctors have initially suspected cardiac arrest as the possible reason. Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart suddenly stops pumping blood effectively. It can cause a person to lose consciousness and collapse without warning. It is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment. However, the exact cause of Atharv’s death has not been established in the information available so far.
Police Visit the Hospital
After receiving information about the incident, local police officers reached the hospital and spoke to the family. They gathered details about what had happened at the school. According to officials, doctors had raised the possibility of a cardiac arrest. The family has not submitted any written complaint to the police so far. They also declined to file a complaint at this stage. The incident has left the school and the entire neighbourhood mourning the sudden loss of a young student.
