According to the Narsingi police, the post however, was found to be disrespectful by some of his school friends. Upon learning about the post, the victim, Mohd Raqeem (17), engaged in a heated argument with the one who posted it.

The confrontation escalated, leading to the teen physically assaulting Raqeem. He reportedly punched and attacked Raqeem, causing injuries to his neck and face. During the scuffle, he reportedly slipped and fell from the first floor of the Madrasa building

Subsequently, Raqeem was rushed to Golconda Area Hospital, where he was declared dead by the duty doctor.

Multiple allegations have added another layer to the investigation, as police seek to ascertain the truth behind Raheem’s untimely death.
