LUDHIANA: A school van mowed down a 6-year-old girl on Monday on the private institute's premises, officials said.
They added that the Class 1 student, Amaira Sood, at BCM Senior Secondary School, Sector 32, Chandigarh Road, was crushed by the van right after she got off it around 8.40 am after reaching the school.
According to the information available, the van did not have an attendant, and the minor got off it unsupervised.
The deceased's parents alleged negligence on part of the school authorities and alleged that they tampered with evidence in the aftermath of the incident.
The Division Number 7 police have registered a case in connection with the matter and have acquired closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera footage from the school, the officials added.
The van driver, Simranjit Singh, school principal DP Guleria and management of BCM School have been nominated in the first-information report (FIR).
Simranjit Singh was arrested, and the van was impounded, police said.
According to the information, the minor got off the van unsupervised and walked in-front, which is when the driver 'recklessly' moved the vehicle, knocking down the girl.
The victim's head was crushed by the van's front tyre, killing her on spot.
The van had picked Amaira up from her home in Bhamian.
Amaira, an only child, has left behind a grieving family.
