Daya Prakash, a student of class XII in Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati Updeshek Mahavidhyala near Rajkot, lost his fingers while cutting fodder for cattle in a machine. The incident occurred on May 15 when the boy’s left hand accidentally got under the blades of the machine.
Daya was rushed to a private hospital, but his family which lives in Bihar was informed of the accident much later on 27 May. Soon thereafter, his family members left for Tankara to be with their son.
Daya Prakash (17) is a budding guitar player, but fears he may never be able to play it any longer. He loves singing too and was to leave for Gandhidham that same day to participate in an audition for a contest. The accident took place just two hours before he was to leave.
Another student said the school made them do such hazardous work, which resulted in an accident.
School principal Acharya Vidhyadev said Daya suffered injury in all five fingers, but two were severely cut. On why the parents were informed late, he said they didn’t want to trouble them as they lived far away from their child. “We informed the parents when he got better,” Vidhyadev said, adding that Daya was not an accomplished guitarist, he was only learning to play it.
