Newly surfaced CCTV footage from Jaipur's Neerja Modi School has renewed scrutiny over the death of a nine-year-old student, months after the incident shocked the city. The footage, released by the child's family, appears to show the Class IV student approaching her teacher during class before returning to her seat. Her family alleges she had been facing bullying by classmates for more than a year and that her attempts to seek help were not adequately addressed. According to the family, the child appeared visibly distressed in the moments captured on CCTV. They claim she repeatedly tried to report what had happened but did not receive the attention she needed. The footage has since become a key part of their demand for a thorough investigation. The case has reignited conversations about bullying in schools and the importance of recognising signs of emotional distress in children. According to UNICEF, more than one in three students in India report experiencing bullying or harassment at school. UNESCO has also cautioned that bullying is often dismissed as a normal part of growing up, despite its potential impact on children's wellbeing. The investigation into the case is ongoing, while the newly surfaced footage has intensified calls for greater accountability and stronger systems to ensure students feel safe, supported and heard in school.
