A 15-year-old Class X student was found dead at a BC hostel in Mopidevi mandal of Andhra Pradesh’s Krishna district, with the circumstances surrounding his death still under investigation and his family alleging that the hostel authorities may have been involved.
The student, identified as Kumar Raja of Nachugunta village in Nagayalanka mandal, was found dead at the hostel in the Avanigadda area, according to a report by Deccan Chronicle. Preliminary reports indicated that he may have died by suicide, but the exact circumstances had not been established at the time of publication.
After the incident, Raja’s body was shifted to the Avanigadda Government Hospital for further procedures. The report did not specify whether a post-mortem examination had been completed or whether any police case had been registered.
The student’s family members and relatives raised suspicions about the death and alleged that hostel authorities could have been involved. They also alleged that the incident was being portrayed as a suicide. These allegations had not been independently established in the information available.
The family and relatives staged a demonstration outside the government hospital, demanding justice for the student. Their protest has placed attention on the circumstances in which a minor living in an institutional hostel died and on the need for an official determination of the cause of death.
The available report does not provide details of the hostel’s management, the sequence of events before Raja was found dead, statements from the police or hostel officials, or findings from medical and forensic procedures.
