A Class XI student died after falling from 11th floor of a building in Ghaziabad’s Indirapuram on Wednesday night.
The reason behind his death still remains a mystery.
During initial investigation, police suspected suicide but said they would investigate the incident from other angles too.
The family, however, suspects that the boy has been murdered, and they have demanded an enquiry.
Police said the boy had come to meet one of his acquaintances at a society but was found lying in a pool of blood beneath a society’s tower. He was taken to a hospital where he was declared brought dead, said official.
According to reports, a 16-year-old boy Varun Rajput was a resident of Noida’s Sector 22. On Wednesday evening, he had gone to meet a relative living in a flat in Indirapuram but was found dead at Aditya Mega City, another society located in the same area. Police said instead of going to relative’s home, he went to meet one of his female friends living on 11th floor of Aditya Mega Society and was found dead under mysterious circumstances.
“The boy reached his friend’s flat at around 7 pm. But about two hours later, a guard of the society found him lying on ground with multiple fractures in his body. He made a PCR call and the boy was taken to a private hospital where doctors declared him dead. The boy was identified with the help of mobile number and his family was informed thereafter. His body has also been sent for postmortem, the report of which is awaited,” said a senior police official investigating the case.
“The boy has been murdered for reason which should be investigated properly. There was no sign that he was upset/depressed that would have forced him to commit suicide. On the day of incident, he had happily gone to Ghaziabad hence we suspect he was killed. The matter should be probed properly,” said a family member.
Police, however, said prima facie, it appears a case of suicide but they (police) will reach on any conclusion once initial postmortem report will come. “We have been scanning his call details and are talking with his friends and relatives. We have also been scanning CCTV footage of the society so we could get more information,” said the police official.
