In a heartbreaking incident at New Hopes Public School in Budaun, Uttar Pradesh, a first-grade student named Taapsee, aged six, died after swallowing a bead from her bracelet during school hours. The tragedy unfolded when Taapsee allegedly chewed the bead and swallowed it, which caused her to suddenly struggle for breath. The school administration and her parents rushed her to a local community health center and then to a district hospital, but despite their efforts, she could not receive timely medical intervention and ultimately passed away.

Witnesses, including another classmate, recounted that Taapsee had placed the bracelet bead in her mouth, and the teacher immediately notified the principal, Bhuraaj Singh, to contact her family. Upon the arrival of Taapsee's grandmother, she was transported to a local ENT specialist and later referred to a surgical facility, but due to the critical nature of her condition, she could not be saved. The girl's father, Tekchand, expressed his anguish and frustration over the circumstances surrounding his daughter’s death, pointing to delays in the medical response as a contributory factor.

In the aftermath of this tragic incident, local authorities have launched an investigation, seizing CCTV footage from the school to better understand the events leading up to Taapsee's death. The body has been sent for post-mortem examination as police continue to gather information about this deeply saddening case, which highlights concerns over student safety and emergency medical protocols within schools.
