Boy sexually assaulted, murdered in private school

A boy was found dead under mysterious circumstances on Friday in a private school in Ranchi, India after possibly being subjected to sexual abuse.

According to police, prima facie evidence suggests that the boy was sexually assaulted before being ‘killed’.

The family members of the boy have alleged that he was murdered after he was sexually assaulted, Zeenews reported.

Some few days earlier, a boy from Delhi was found dead in a water reservoir at a private school in the city. His father has alleged there were injury marks on his body including private parts and that the principal has threatened them to keep quiet over the issue.

Three teachers have been detained in connection with the assault and murder, while investigations are ongoing, the police said.
