Class 10 boy found dead inside classmate's house in Faridabad, cops injured as families clash
Police said the boy and his female classmate, both minors, were studying in standard 10 at a private school in Faridabad.
A 17-year-old Class 10 boy was discovered dead inside the home of his female classmate in Faridabad's Shiv Shakti enclave on Thursday night, according to police reports. Both individuals were students at a private school in Faridabad. The boy's family accused him of murder, while the girl's family claimed he had stalked her and had entered their home, where he hanged himself.
Conflict erupted when family members arrived at the scene and encountered the deceased. Two police officers sustained minor injuries during the ensuing clash as both families attempted to control the situation. The girl's family informed the police that the victim had died by suicide, which led to the boy's family arriving at the location and escalating the dispute.
Police officials stated that the boy's relatives forcefully entered the girl's house, alleging that they had murdered him and fabricated the appearance of a suicide by hanging the body from the ceiling. Following the intervention of police personnel, the tense situation was brought under control after an hour-long effort to separate both families.
The body was removed from the girl's residence and transported to Badshah Khan Civil Hospital's mortuary for an autopsy, which will take place on Friday. The Faridabad police public relations officer, Yashpal Yadav, revealed that the girl's family had lodged a complaint against the victim at the school for harassment. Yadav expressed that the truth regarding the incident would become clearer once the principal, teachers, and classmates were questioned.
The final determination of whether the boy's death was a result of suicide or murder will be established through the autopsy results, after which the appropriate legal actions will be taken based on the post-mortem report.
