During the preliminary enquiry, police examined CCTV footage from the classroom, which reportedly showed the girl suddenly collapsing. The footage shows the child entering the classroom and placing her hand on her waist before suddenly falling to the ground. The teacher immediately lifts her and attempts to place her on a chair.
