A tragedy occurred in one of the private kindergartens in Dushanbe – a two-year-old child died . This was reported on Tuesday by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Tajikistan.
The incident occurred on May 19 at about 1:05 p.m. in a private preschool called "Savolu javob" located in the capital. According to preliminary information, the boy, who was sleeping on the second tier of a children's bed, fell down, catching his clothes on a metal grate. As a result of asphyxia, the child died on the spot.
As specified in the official statement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, at the time of the tragedy, the teacher left the premises without permission, leaving the children unattended, thereby grossly violating the daily routine and sanitary and hygienic requirements established for the care of young children.
It was established that the 29-year-old woman had been acting as an assistant teacher without official employment since May 2023. In April 2025, she was transferred to a group for children under three years old.
A criminal case has been opened on this fact, and an investigation is underway. Law enforcement agencies are conducting all necessary investigative actions aimed at clarifying the circumstances of the incident, as well as checking the activities of the preschool institution.
