According to personnel at the Manjalpur police station, they received a call around 3pm on Wednesday informing them about the death of a 15-year-old in a house in Subodhnagar area. When a team arrived at the spot, the family of the deceased had gathered there alleging foul play. The relatives claimed that the owner of the house “tortured” the boy as the family owed him money.

Meanwhile, we are also awaiting the autopsy report. No suicide note has been recovered from the site.”
