FIR Filed Against Two Teachers, Investigation Underway

Police filed an FIR against two female teachers under Section 105 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for culpable homicide not amounting to murder. Officials have started an investigation to uncover the full story.

Additional CP (Law and Order) Ajay Pal told TOI, “We are scanning the CCTV footages, and legal action will be initiated accordingly. A detailed probe will reveal the exact sequence of events.”

Police questioned the school staff and recorded statements from Shivay’s family. A panel of two doctors conducted the postmortem. They preserved the viscera for further medical examination to find out what caused the boy’s death.
