Five girls were killed on Thursday and 27 other students injured, five of them critically, in a stampede triggered by rumours of a short circuit in a government school flooded with rain water in North East Delhi.
Students rushed out of their classrooms in the Government Senior Secondary School in Khajuri Khas at around 9 am following the rumours.
The injured have been taken to the nearby Guru Tegh Bahadur Hospital. GTB Medical Superintendent O P Kalra said, "Out of the injured, five students are very critical.
They are on life support system. Others are relatively stable and conscious. They are being attended by neurosurgeons, orthopaedic surgeons and anaesthetics".
