A Class XII boy in Bihar's Rohtas district was killed apparently for exposing a love affair of one of his classmates.
The body of 17-year-old Sahil Kumar was recovered by police from Jagdeo Chowk under Tilhauti police station, around 180 km from the state capital.
Sahil was the only son of Saraswati Devi and Shambhu Singh, who works for a textile company in Ahmedabad.
The matter came to light after Sahil's body was recovered by Tilhauti police. "His identity could be ascertained from the school identity card recovered from his pocket," said Station House Officer (SHO) of the police station, Vishwajeet Kumar.
Sahil's family members claimed he was killed for exposing the love affair of his classmate with a girl student.
In an FIR lodged with the police, Sahil's kin claimed that the boy had spotted his friend with the girl in a compromising position on December 7. He was then warned by another friend to not expose the affair.
"A case has been registered in this connection. We are trying to apprehend the two suspects, who are said to be absconding," said the SHO.
