Class 6 Boy Dies Under Circumstances Of Mystery Within School Hostel, Police Investigation On

In a very shocking twist of events, a Class 6 boy died under mysterious circumstances within his school hostel in the Kasganj district of the Uttar Pradesh state, sending a red alert over campus security and student health.

 

Anurag, a 13-year-old boy of Gurukul School, who resided within the school hostel. In the morning of Tuesday when the school was all set to begin another ordinary day, tragedy struck the school. When the class monitor went to wake up Anurag, he was confronted with a ghastly sight—blood was oozing from the boy's nose and ears. The hostel staff carried the dead body to the nearest hospital, where upon arrival, he was declared dead.

 

Superintendent of Police Rajesh Dwivedi, who had himself undertaken the case, said an inquiry was underway despite no complaint having been lodged by the family. "Six police teams have been formed to inquire into the incident in detail," he told the media.

 

Accompanied by the Additional Superintendent of Police Diksha Bhawre, SP Dwivedi visited the school campus, met hostel staff and students, and recorded their statements. The authorities are not leaving any stone unturned, and the last hours of Anurag's life on earth are being tried to be reconstructed.

 

The premature death of the young boy stunned and enraged people. Questions haunt the cause—medical emergency, negligence, or something else?

 

The school administration has remained tight-lipped until now, but in the coming days, the school authorities will certainly face interrogation.

 

Like in all such ongoing investigations, Anurag's family is left with questions and despair. The mishap has once again highlighted safety provisions in boarding schools, especially in the case of children outside home and institutional care.
