Death of Ryan student:Police struggle to determine sequence of

Police are struggling to determine the exact sequence of events leading to the death of a six-year-old boy at Ryan International school even after conducting several rounds of questioning in this regard.
They are awaiting forensic report in connection with the incident along with the medical board's opinion on the boy's postmortem examination. The initial report has, however, suggested the boy died of drowning, a senior police official said, adding foul play can still not be ruled out.
In the last three days, police have questioned several teaching and non-teaching staff, including the principal of the school. Their versions were corroborated with what the boy's parents had to say, following which the police have found significant differences.

Such differences have so far been the major hindrance in determining the proper sequence of events in the case, the senior official said.
Meanwhile, some of the staff members have also come under the scanner and are suspected of tampering with evidence. If it turns out to be so, Section 201 of IPC will be added in the existing FIR, the official said.
Divyansh Kakrora, a Class I student of the school in south Delhi's Vasant Kunj area, was found dead on January 30, following which Delhi government had also ordered a magisterial probe.

In a similar incident which took place around three days before Divyansh's death, a five-year-old boy had died after he fell into an open septic tank in a corporation-run school in southwest Delhi's Kapashera area.

Terming as "unfortunate" the death of children in both the cases, the Delhi High Court today sought response of the AAP government, South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) and the school authorities.
By connecting the dots in Divyansh's case, what police have so far been able to infer is that Divyansh had gone missing before the seventh period and later his body was found floating in a water reservoir under the school's amphitheatre.

The other differences in versions revolve around who was entrusted with the maintenance of the reservoir, whether the fact that the door of the amphitheatre was open was known to the school authorities and who exactly spotted the body first and at what time, the official said.
The school authorities had taken the boy to hospital instead of informing police first. The boy was declared brought dead there and the hospital authorities called up the police around 2.40 PM, the official said.
Sources said police's suspicion aroused when it found the door to the reservoir locked after the incident. This, they said, could indicate tampering with evidence.

Divyansh's parents are both paramedical staff at AIIMS and the family lives in south Delhi's Mehrauli area.
The boy's father termed it a conspiracy and alleged someone from the school was behind the incident. The family has demanded a CBI probe into the matter.
