His father asked the teacher if he had killed his son. To this, Manoj reportedly replied that the boy was indeed "pretending to be dead".

According to local police, Omprakash told the father that his son had complained around four to five times that his teacher was "beating him for no reason".

The boy was taken to a nearby hospital where the doctors declared him dead. The police immediately arrested the teacher after his father filed a complaint against him.
