Patna: Following the discovery of a three-year-old’s body on the grounds of a private school, a throng of indignation swept over the city’s streets today.
The tragic finding was reportedly made when the child’s family began a desperate search after he failed to come home from school. As soon as they got to the school, family members began to suspect more after school administrators allegedly made an effort to divert questions regarding the child’s whereabouts.
The family persevered in their quest to find the truth, which finally led them to a sobering discovery. The three-year-old’s body was discovered hidden in a drainage pipe deep within the school grounds.
Local authorities were alerted to the rapidly developing situation, and law enforcement personnel quickly arrived on the spot. Chandra Prakash, the superintendent of police in Patna, stated that an inquiry is ongoing because the child was observed entering the school but not exiting.
“The child was observed entering the school in the CCTV tape, but he was never seen exiting the school grounds. They were concealing the body, which indicates criminal intent. Therefore, we will look into it as a murder case.
An investigation is ongoing; three people have been apprehended,” Chandra Prakash informed the press. Meanwhile, the child’s family and neighbors have taken to the streets, calling for prompt justice. The demonstrators have set fire to several cars and portions of the school’s walls. The irate mob has blocked roads leading to the school as well.
