Bihar Cooperative Minister Jay Kumar Singh’s son allegedly tried to take his life because he was harassed by seniors in Scindia School, Gwalior Police said Saturday.
The 15-year-old is undergoing treatment at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in Delhi, where he was rushed in a critical condition on Thursday, hours after he was found unconscious in his hostel room.
ASP Yusuf Kureshi, who visited the school with forensic experts, said that prima facie, it appears to be a case of attempted suicide because of alleged harassment by seniors. The boy tried to hang himself using a bedsheet, Kureshi said.
The police have spoken to students, the victim’s brother and doctors in hospitals where the teenager was first taken. No case has been registered by the police so far.
Collector P Narhari has taken a serious view of the school not informing the local administration about the incident even after two days. A sub-divisional magistrate has started an inquiry into allegations of ragging. The SDM claims the incident appeared to be a fallout of an altercation between the victim, who allegedly had a short temper, and seniors over excessive use of smartphone by him.
Meanwhile, Bihar CM Jeetan Ram Manjhi requested his Madhya Pradesh counterpart for a high-level probe.
