A 10-year-old boy died under mysterious circumstances after he was allegedly beaten by a group of classmates in school. The incident took place in Rohini district’s Begumpur police station area on Friday and the child died on Saturday night following which the incident was reported to the local police on Sunday morning.
DCP (Rohini) Rishi Pal said, “There was no external injury on the body of the deceased as per the MlC. There was no PCR call as well. However, on the request of the father of the deceased, a medical board will be constituted to conduct the autopsy.” However, the kin of the minor boy suspect that he died because he was beaten up inside the school. The incident was reported from the Rohini Sector-21 area on Sunday.
Narrating the exact sequence of events of how Vishal, his son died, Raja Babu, father of the victim, said, “My son, a Class V student in a nearby Government school, went to school as usual. He returned home and went on to play with his friends. At around 9pm, he told us that he is tired and wants to sleep. The next day on Saturday, when we woke him up, he started crying and said that he has been beaten. Showing injury marks on his neck and chest, I rushed my son to a private hospital.”
However, looking at his injuries, the doctor asked us to go to Dr Ambedkar hospital. He was admitted here till 9 pm. After consulting our relatives, we thought of referring him to Safdarjung Hospital. Enroute to the Safdarjung hospital, Vishal died in the ambulance.
Doctors at the emergency ward too confirmed that Vishal was declared brought dead.
Till the last moment, my son through signs kept saying that he was thrashed. He even told us that his class teacher was not present on Friday,” added the father.
