Tragedy in Baleshwar: Class 9 Student Found Dead on School Premises

BALESHWAR: In a tragic and mysterious incident, the lifeless body of a Class 9 student was recovered from the premises of Narayanpur High School under the Betagadia panchayat in Baliapal block on Friday.
The deceased minor has been identified as Rakesh Kullari.
According to local reports, Rakesh had left his home in the morning as per his routine to attend a coaching centre.
However, concern grew among his family members when he failed to return home at his usual time.
Alarmed by the delay, the boy’s father contacted the school’s headmaster, only to learn that Rakesh had not attended school that day. Suspicion deepened further when the father discovered Rakesh’s bicycle parked outside the coaching centre.
Joined by local teachers and residents, a frantic search was launched across the surrounding areas.
During the search, the group made the grim discovery of Rakesh’s body hanging from a tree inside the Narayanpur High School compound.
He was rushed immediately to the Baliapal Community Health Centre (CHC), where attending doctors pronounced him dead on arrival.
As of now, the exact cause behind the tragic incident remains unclear, leaving grieving family members and villagers questioning whether any disputes or issues at home or the coaching centre preceded his death.
Baliapal police quickly arrived at the scene, recovered the body for an autopsy, and launched a comprehensive investigation to uncover the facts surrounding the case.
