JAGTIAL: Tragedy struck the Peddapur Gurukul Residential School in Metpally mandal early on Friday when a Class VI student, Anirudh from Yellareddypet in Rajanna-Sircilla district, died after experiencing severe stomach pain. 
Anirudh passed away before he could be taken to Jagtial government hospital. Two other Class VI students, Mokshith from Atmakur in Metpally mandal and Hemant Yadav from Tatipally village in Malyala mandal, who also suffered from severe stomach pain, were transported to the Nizamabad government hospital and Metpally government hospital, respectively. Hemant was later moved to the district headquarters hospital.
This incident marks the second death at the same residential school within the past 15 days. The cause of Anirudh’s death has not yet been officially determined.
Parents have voiced concerns over the school's maintenance, citing inadequate medical facilities and poor care. Complaints include insufficient power and overgrown bushes around the hostel. Korutla MLA Kalvakuntla Sanjay visited the hospital and criticized the hostel authorities for negligence.
Government Whip A. Laxman Kumar and MLC T. Jeevan Reddy also visited the hospital, placing blame on the Opposition BRS for the school's neglect. Korutla CI P. Suresh Babu confirmed that a case has been filed based on a complaint by Anirudh’s mother, Priyanka, and noted that they are awaiting the postmortem report.
Previously, on July 27, a Class VIII student, Ghanaditya, died after reportedly suffering from fits while being transported to the hospital on a motorcycle.
