Jharkhand: Schoolboy killed by classmates, body found after six days
Hazaribag, Jan 12: A class 11 student, who went missing last week, was found dead in a well in Jharkhand's Hazaribag district on Friday, police said.
The boy, who was a student of a well-known English-medium school, was allegedly killed by his classmates over some disputes, and the body was dumped in the well in the Ichak area, they said.
He went out with some of his classmates on January 6 to sort out the disputes with them but he did not return home, said Nishi Kumari, the officer-in-charge of the Korra police station.
His parents lodged a missing person's complaint with the police, following which an investigation was started.
The body was found after six days in the well, and his parents identified it, police said.
It is suspected that he was strangulated, but the exact cause of the death could be ascertained after the post-mortem examination, they said.
The body was dumped in the well to mislead the investigation, they added.
Two of his classmates have been apprehended in connection with the murder, police said, adding that a search was on for the other students involved.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
