Sukanthini Subbiah, a 48-year-old doctor from Louisiana, faces charges of aggravated manslaughter after surveillance footage showed her allegedly failing to help Khushil Bandi, a seven-year-old boy she was supervising at an Orlando community pool, when he began drowning. The child struggled in the water for seven minutes before being rescued by another adult who was alerted by Subbiah; meanwhile, Subbiah had sent two other children to assist him. Prosecutors argue that her actions were criminally negligent and led directly to Khushil’s death.

Story summary
Sukanthini Subbiah, a 48-year-old physician from Louisiana, was charged with aggravated manslaughter for allegedly failing to rescue Khushil Bandi, a 7-year-old boy who drowned at a community pool in Orlando, Florida on April 10. According to court records and surveillance footage, Khushil began struggling in the water within a minute of entering the pool around 6:19 p.m., and he was drowning for seven minutes before being pulled out. During this time, Subbiah allegedly watched and instructed the boy's twin sister and her own son to assist him instead of intervening herself. Another adult at the scene eventually rescued Khushil from the water after Subbiah alerted them, but despite attempts by Subbiah to perform CPR, Khushil died.
