Hyderabad: A six-year-old Class I student at Promising Scholars High School at Toli Chowki died on Saturday of injuries he had reportedly suffered in a quarrel with another student, one year older than him, on the school campus on Tuesday.
Police said Mohammed Ibrahim was kicked in the groin in the incident. His family took him to Niloufer Hospital, where he succumbed on Saturday. Ibrahim was the son of Mohammed Abdul Majeed, a Meru Cabs driver from Toli Chowki.
Mr Majeed said Ibrahim had complained of pain in the groin area and had said that a student from Class II had kicked him. Mr Majeed found the testicles swollen, and took him to the hospital, where doctors performed two surgeries on his abdomen and testicles.
“He had said that the boy would beat him often. That day, when he kicked my son, Ibrahim said he walked away. But the boy came after him and kicked him four times,” Mr Majeed said.
Police has registered a case for culpable homicide not amounting to murder under 304(II) of IPC against the Class II student. “As he is a minor, we will inquire into the case and proceed as per the guidelines of the Juvenile Justice Act,” Banjara Hills inspector K. Srinivas said.
