Hyderabad: A seventh standard student died under suspicious circumstances at a private residential educational school at Petbasheerabad on Monday night.
The child K Mallikarjun was a hostel boarder at the residential school in Kompally for last few years while his parents were natives of Medak district.
According to the police, on Monday night, the boy had dinner at the hostel mess and went to sleep. A little later, he woke up from sleep and cried loudly. His roommates, who noticed this, did not pursue further, as they thought the boy might have had a bad dream.
“Around 5 am, the hostel warden came to the room and checked Mallikarjun. When the boy did not respond to him, the warden along with others rushed the child to a hospital where doctors pronounced him dead,” official of Petbasheerabad police station said.
On a complaint, the police rushed to the hospital and shifted the body to the mortuary for postmortem examination. The police registered a case and investigating.
The management of the hostel told the police that Mallikarjun had joined the school on Monday after visiting his parents at their village.
