Boy adds poison to water, students take ill

A 15-year-old class 9 student of Morarji Desai Residential School in KGF, allegedly mixed a poisonous solution in the water container on Monday, after which three students who drank from the container kept at the administrative block of the school, took ill and were admitted to a hospital.

The Kamasamudra police swung into action after the doctors alerted them that the boys had consumed water contaminated with poison. Based on the information, the police registered a case under section 328 (causing hurt by means of poison) and began to probe.

According to the police, the boy was admitted to the residential school four months ago, against his wishes and was desperate to go back home. He even tried to convince his parents when he went home on holidays, but his parents were firm.
