A nine-year-old girl died after suddenly collapsing during playtime at a private school in Rajasthan’s Nagaur district on February 23.

The incident occurred around 7:48 am at Gotan International School in Gotan town. The deceased, Divya, a Class 5 student and daughter of Rajendra Bapedia from Talanpur, had arrived at school as usual. With time remaining before the morning assembly, several students were playing on the school ground when she suddenly stumbled, fainted and fell.

School staff immediately rushed to her assistance and informed her family. She was taken to the Government Hospital in Gotan, where doctors declared her dead.

Suspected Cardiac Arrest

Doctors stated that there were no visible external injury marks on Divya’s body. In the preliminary assessment, cardiac arrest is suspected to be the cause of death.

The family declined a postmortem examination. After completing necessary formalities, the hospital handed over the body to the family.

School Director Ramkunwar Ola said the child had come to school normally and was playing before assembly when she unexpectedly collapsed.

Elder Brother Died in Similar Manner

Family members revealed that Divya’s elder brother, Abhishek, had also died under similar circumstances about four months ago. On September 9, 2025, he reportedly fainted while playing at home and was later declared dead at a hospital.

The consecutive deaths of two siblings within a short span have left the family and the local community in deep shock.
