Cops still clueless on student death

Even after conducting several rounds of questioning in connection with the death of a six-year-old boy under mysterious circumstances at Ryan International School on Saturday, the Delhi police is still struggling to determine the exact sequence of events. According to the police, they are awaiting forensic report in connection with the incident along with the medical board’s opinion on the boy’s post-mortem examination. The initial report has, however, suggested the boy died of drowning, a senior police official said, adding foul play can still not be ruled out. In the last three days, the police questioned several teaching and non-teaching staff, including the principal of the school. Their versions were corroborated with what the boy’s parents had to say, following which the police found significant differences.

Such differences have so far been the major hindrance in determining the proper sequence of events in the case, the senior official said.

Meanwhile, some of the staff members have also come under the scanner and are suspected of tampering with evidence. If it turns out to be so, Section 201 of IPC will be added in the existing FIR, the official said.
