His family members called his friends and school teachers, and initiated search efforts throughout the area, but were unsuccessful, so they approached the police.
“A abduction case was registered, and an inquiry was launched. The child’s body was discovered at roughly 3 a.m. in a sewer on the school grounds. According to a police official, the boy’s father, Shailendra Rai, identified it.
A post-mortem was performed at Patna Medical College and Hospital, however the specific cause of death has yet to be determined.
The child’s family has accused foul play, claiming hostility with their relatives, and that the child may have been murdered.
The boy studied at the institution and took tuition classes on campus.
The father of the youngster claims that his son left for school at around 6 a.m. and did not get home until 5 p.m.
Previously, the school principal stated that the youngster did not attend his lesson on Thursday.
However, CCTV footage from the school confirms that he attended. Police say the school administration interfered with the footage for more than ten minutes.
