"My son was strangled, he was brutally murdered, His neck's bone was broken, his lips turned blue, I want them to be at least hanged to death. I want justice."
Speaking to ANI, Shrikishan Kuswaha said, "At 5, I received the call of the school manager telling me that your son's health is very poor, come here. The school is 6 km from here. I asked them to bring my son here, but he refused. But when I called him, reaching midway, they told me that they had left the school. I called again, and they told me they are in Shahadabad and then said that they are in Khandoli. They have misled me. After 1.5 hour, Dinesh Bhagel was found with my son's body in a vehicle. He was intoxicated. One more person was involved, Laxman Sing, but he was not in the vehicle."
Mother of the deceased, Kamlesh, grieving the death of her son, demanded the school be razed down by bulldozer.
"Bulldozer should be run on the school. There should be a CBI inquiry in the case...the culprits should be hanged." Kamlesh said.
