The police were informed about the incident by a PCR call on April 27 at 8.20 pm. The police soon reached the spot and found the boy’s body in a drain.
When a police team reached the spot between the Khatushyam park and Tajpur Road village, the body of the boy in a school uniform was found lying in a drain.
