The incident was reported around noon when classes broke for recess. Eyewitnesses told police that BA first year students were having lunch in the school yard when the glass came crashing down. "One of them, Radhika, was hit on the head, but a piece of glass slashed 21-year-old Priya Arora's cheek," said Kanchan Kaushik, a student. Their classmate Ruhi was injured on her right shoulder.
Hearing the noise, Kanchan and the others rushed to the spot and found the three girls lying on the ground. Students claimed there was no ambulance or first aid available in the college at the time of the incident and that they had to stop a passing car to rush the injured to a private hospital. The families of the girls were informed.
Students also informed the PCR after which a team from Vivek Vihar police station reached the college. Police said preliminary investigations suggest negligence on the part of the college authorities. While Radhika and Ruhi were discharged after treatment, Priya had to undergo cosmetic surgery. Her family members, who stay in Ghaziabad, said that the right side of her face is scarred after the accident. Students claim they had informed college authorities earlier about the broken window pane but it was not replaced.
Principal Surinder Kaur, however, claims it was sabotage. "The footage of our CCTV camera shows someone was in my office on the third floor during odd hours. They may have loosened the screws by which the pane was attached." Kaur's office is in the new building of Vivekananda College handed over in 2013.
"One glass pane on the ground floor was damaged and I complained repeatedly, asking them to replace it," says Kaur. She further alleges that there are CCTV grabs of a students' union member "walking in and out" of the new building. The reason she states for such an act is dispute over participation of a group of students in the college festival, Pallavi. She says she's been threatened as a result of the dispute. However, she did not register a complaint at the local police station in this regard.
"My full sympathy is with the students who were injured. We deposited money for Priya Arora at the hospital and requested them not to charge a dime from her family. With permission from the governing body, I took one lakh from the college fund which she will be given for treatment," Kaur says.
DCP (East) Ajay Kumar said that a case of voluntarily causing hurt by act endangering life or personal safety under Section 337 IPC has been registered and efforts are being made to establish culpability.
