In an absolute shocker of news coming from a boarding school in Dehradun, a 12-year-old boy named Vasu Yadav was beaten to death by his seniors. According to India Today, the class 7 student lost his life after being thrashed with bats and wickets on March 10.
The reason behind the torture was that the kid had stolen some biscuits during a school outing which led to the school authorities punishing all the students and detaining them inside the school campus. However, the seniors went on to hold Yadav responsible for the punishment and attacked him mercilessly.
As per an NDTV report, the boy, who was bleeding at that moment was taken to the hospital after a delay. The doctors declared him dead on arrival. Speaking about the same, SSP Dehradun Nivedita Kukreti said,
“He was beaten up in phases in the afternoon, while he was taken to hospital in the late evening.”
If that wasn’t enough to give you goosebumps, the next bit of the story surely will.
In a bid to hush up the crime instead of reporting it, the school authorities buried the dead body of Vasu Yadav inside the school campus. The incident which took place almost 20 days ago came to notice this Wednesday when the police recovered the body by digging up the campus! The police said,
“Instead of reporting the matter to police immediately, the school buried the body inside the campus to cover up the matter.”
The body was then sent for the post mortem where it was revealed that the kid succumbed to internal injury shock. Even the boy’s parents who live 200km away in Hapur were kept clueless by the school authorities.
However, the school manager, warden, physical training teacher, and two students have been arrested by the police and have been charged with murder. We sincerely hope that these cruel souls get the punishment they deserve.
