A 17-year-old Class 12 student died after he allegedly fell unconscious at his school in Jaipur’s Jhotwara area, with his family claiming that he became ill after eating a patty from the school canteen, officials said on Thursday.
The family was subsequently called to the school. A relative, Ravi Kumar, alleged that at around 11 am, the unconscious student was taken from the classroom to a room by a teacher, administrator and others.

Police said they reached the school and recorded statements from students and teachers regarding the incident. The student’s family staged a protest at the school on Thursday, alleging that Prince fell ill after eating a patty at the school canteen and later collapsed unconscious in his classroom on Wednesday, the police said.
