A 14-year-old schoolgirl died on the way to hospital after she was bitten by a snake inside her hostel room. The incident took place on the premises of a government-aided school near Begambur in Dindigul town on the wee hours of Sunday.
The victim was identified as R Varsha, daughter of Raman, a farmer from Periyur village in Kodaikanal block. She was studying in class IX staying on the same school. She fell ill and alerted her friends on the early hours of Sunday.
As froth began appearing in her mouth, warden and the school authorities rushed the girl to government hospital. But the doctors, who checked her, declared that she was brought dead.
The girl had told her friends that she was bitten by something at around 1 pm, but she ignored. After sometime, she became restless as the poison started spreading. During a search later conducted by school authorities, a cobra snake was found inside the box in which the hostel television was set. The snake was beaten to death.
