School Gate Collapse Kills Guard; Principal, Podar School Booked
There is a school in India called Podar International School, and a security guard worked there to keep everyone safe.
One morning, the guard was opening the school's big front gate.
Suddenly, the heavy gate fell on top of him and hurt him very badly.
He was quickly taken to a hospital so doctors could help him.
Sadly, after a couple of days, he passed away because of his injuries.
His name was Sanjay Nagnath Kamble, and he was 52 years old.
The police think the gate might have fallen because the school did not take care of it properly.
Not fixing something that is broken when you should is called negligence.
So the police filed a report against the school's principal and the people who run the school.
Now the police are investigating exactly what caused the gate to fall.
A 52-year-old security guard, Sanjay Nagnath Kamble, died after the main gate of Podar International School in Tathawade collapsed on him.
The gate collapsed on Kamble around 8:10 am on July 31 while he was opening it, leaving him injured.
He was rushed to a hospital for treatment but succumbed to his injuries on August 2.
Pimpri Chinchwad police booked the school's principal and administration for alleged negligence over the incident.
Police sub inspector Raju Pandhare lodged the FIR at Wakad police station, and an accidental death report was filed with a probe underway.
