Overview
- Based on the father's complaint, police filed a negligence case naming the school administration, a warden, the principal and a fellow student.
- The student, identified as 16-year-old Kotresh of DVS Residential School in Bharamasagara, fell from the third floor around 7:14 am and was declared dead at the hospital.
- CCTV reviewed by investigators shows him pacing the third-floor corridor several times, standing by the railing and then jumping, with officers noting signs of stress.
- The father alleged prior harassment by wardens Deepa and Nagaraj and said a complaint to the principal drew no action, while also reporting a quarrel in which a classmate hit his son with a slipper and tried to strike him with an iron rod.
- An FIR is on record at the Bharamasagara police station as officers take statements from staff and students and conduct a post-mortem, with the case drawing wider attention to residential-school safety after recent student deaths.
