A shocking incident at Srinagar Kabi Sukanta Vidyalaya in Agartala has left guardians, teachers, and local residents deeply disturbed. An eighth-grade student reportedly fell seriously ill after consuming a liquid from her bottle, which she claims contained an acid-like substance instead of water.

According to the student, two of her classmates had taken her water bottle earlier in the day. After drinking from it, she immediately felt a burning sensation and discomfort, following which she was rushed for medical attention. The strange nature of the incident has triggered widespread concern and confusion among everyone connected to the school.

The headmistress of the school reached the spot promptly after the incident. Observers say the claim that the school did not provide help is misleading, as school authorities responded immediately. The central question now revolves around how such a dangerous substance entered a school campus in the first place.

Investigators are examining whether the substance was brought from outside. There is speculation that it might have been picked up mistakenly from a household where corrosive chemicals are used for rubber-related work, and one of the students could have unknowingly carried it thinking it was water.

The incident has raised serious concerns about safety and awareness among students. The recent episode comes on the heels of similar alarming events in other schools, such as the earlier death of a student at Khudiram Bose English Medium School. The recurrence of such cases has left parents anxious and the community questioning how such practices are beginning within school environments.

This troubling event has sparked outrage and a strong demand for strict investigation, accountability, and enhanced safety measures across all educational institutions in the state. Authorities are expected to question the involved students and their families to determine the source of the substance and prevent any such incident from happening again.
