Victim Kabir Rana was a Class IX student
The deceased, Kabir Rana, was a Class IX student and had been staying in the school's hostel for the past two years. According to the police complaint, Kabir had been suffering from mental and physical distress for some time, but the school neither shifted him from the hostel nor provided adequate medical care.
