Mother calls up police to inform them

Child was rushed to hospital but died during treatment

In a tragic incident in North East Delhi, a five-year-old boy was allegedly killed by three students from the same madrasa. The students, aged between 9 and 11, reportedly committed the crime influenced by a crime show they had watched, hoping to cause a holiday at the madrasa.

The incident unfolded on Friday night when a woman called the police control room from outside Madrasa Taleemul Quran in the Dayalpur area, expressing concern that her son, who was a student there, appeared ill and something might be amiss. When police arrived, they found the child with blisters on his neck, back, and waist. The child was rushed to a nearby hospital but died during treatment.

Following the mother’s complaint, the police arranged for a post-mortem examination, which revealed that the child’s death was not due to illness but resulted from severe internal injuries inflicted by physical assault. The findings led the Delhi Police to register a murder case and launch an investigation into the matter.

The police are now focusing on the three students and their motive behind the heinous act. This disturbing case highlights the influence of media on young minds and raises serious concerns about safety and supervision in educational institutions.
