The tragedy happened as the girl was playing in the school hallway with her friend, who was following her. She was initially transported to the GIMS hospital in Kalaburagi, where she reportedly suffered 50% burn injuries from the event. On Saturday, she was moved to a private hospital and finally to Bengaluru.

Up to three officials, including the headmaster of the school Lalabi Nadaf, the headmaster in charge Raju Chavan, and the head cook Kasturbai Talakeri, have been suspended thus far in the case due to allegations of incompetence. The suspensions were implemented the day following the incident, following the block education officer’s referral to higher authorities.
