Tragic Murder of 5-Year-Old in Bihar School Hostel Shocks Community

Shocking Incident in Jehanabad

In a deeply disturbing incident from Jehanabad district, Bihar, a five-year-old boy was found murdered under suspicious circumstances in the hostel of Gurukul Public School located in Kanudi. The shocking news has sent waves of panic throughout the area, leaving the family in deep grief. The victim has been identified as Aashu Kumar, the son of Dhananjay Kumar from Bulaki Bigaha village.

According to family members, Aashu had been admitted to the hostel just ten days prior, with hopes for a brighter future through education. They never imagined that the school they considered safe would become the site of their child's tragic demise.

Fatal Injuries Discovered

Upon learning about the incident, the family rushed to the school, where they found the child in a pool of blood. His neck bore deep cuts from a sharp weapon. He was quickly transported to PMCH (Patna Medical College and Hospital) for urgent medical attention, but the injuries were so severe that he succumbed to them en route. The news of his death incited anger among villagers and family members.

Protests Erupt on NH-22

In their outrage, family and locals vandalized the school premises and subsequently blocked the Patna-Gaya main road (NH-22), causing significant traffic disruptions for hours. Police arrived at the scene and, after considerable effort, managed to disperse the crowd and sent the body for post-mortem examination.

Authorities Remain Silent

In a surprising turn, the Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) of Jehanabad, Manish Chandra Chaudhary, refused to comment on the sensitive case when approached by the media. He dismissively stated, "I do not speak on such incidents; please talk to the SP, it is not my job to brief you."

Currently, the police claim to be investigating the matter, but the brutal murder of a young child within a school hostel raises serious concerns about the management and security protocols in place.
