The incident was reported from northeast Delhi's Karawal Nagar and the boy, who had pushed the victim, has been apprehended, they said.
The police were informed that a child had fallen unconscious in a school here, Deputy Commissioner of Police (northeast) A K Singla said.
The Class 7 student was taken to a private nursing home and later to a government hospital where he was declared brought dead, the officer said.

The boy allegedly used to tease the victim, Prince, by calling him "golu molu" and that had led to a fight between them, the DCP said.
