HYDERABAD, Sept 23: A seven-year-old girl died after slipping from the school stairway on observing police raiding her house, next-door.

Pinyari police raided the house of Nizam Magsi in search of his brother, Raza Magsi, reportedly wanted in some case.

Nizam’s niece Perya studying in an adjacent school witnessed the raid and perhaps because of panic could not keep her balance and went tumbling down. She received serious injuries and was rushed to a hospital where she breathed her last.

Later, her family protested outside the police station and identified two policemen conducting the raid.
