"Deeply saddened by the tragic and untimely demise of Shyam in Chintaluru, EG District. The suspicious circumstances surrounding his death are alarming.

"The boy first cut his wrist with a blade, which was found in his pocket and has been seized. He then hung himself to death. The body was sent for post-mortem examination in which the ligation was clearly visible and the autopsy has shown that the death was due to hanging. The local inspector went to the spot and investigated the case. It's seen as a case of suicide by hanging and a case has been registered under Sector 174 (police to inquire and report on suicide) of the Code of Criminal Procedure."

"The body has been handed over to the parents and they have not objected to the investigation," he added.
