A 15-year-old girl who scored 94 per cent in the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) exam was seriously injured after falling from a balcony into an open parking area on the premises of a tuition class in Ghatkopar East on May 14.

The girl’s parents alleged that the balcony was dilapidated, while the staff of the facility claimed she lost her balance while clicking photos during the celebration of her results. Based on the parents’ complaint, the Pant Nagar police registered an FIR against a 38-year-old tutor, and other staff members for negligence.

According to police officers, the incident occurred a day after the SSC results were declared, when around 150 students were invited to the centre to celebrate their academic performance. During the celebration, a dhol performance was underway in the parking lot.
