An 8-year-old boy has reportedly been strangled to death by two minors following an altercation at a residential school in Maharashtra’s Jalna district, police announced on Wednesday.
Two minors have been detained in relation to the incident, reported PTI.
The victim was a student at a government-aided English school for tribal children in Bhokardan tehsil, District Superintendent of Police Ajaykumar Bansal stated.
He was found dead on Tuesday morning, according to police.
“There was an altercation between the victim and two other minors, aged 8 and 14. The two allegedly strangled the victim with a rope while he was asleep. We have detained the juveniles involved and an investigation is underway,” Bansal said.
The boys had a dispute over a minor issue on Monday evening. Later that night, the victim went to sleep in the school dormitory after dinner, another official mentioned.
Taking advantage of the situation, the accused minors allegedly strangled him with a rope, he added.
On Tuesday morning, when the victim did not wake up, the school staff rushed him to a hospital where doctors declared him dead on arrival.
Doctors at the hospital observed strangulation marks on his neck, the official noted.
A probe into the incident is ongoing, police said.
