Bantwal, Apr 4: A 16-year-old boy succumbed to injuries he sustained after he was hit by his uncle, at a private hospital at Puttur on Sunday April 3. The deceased has been identified as Sachin (16), son of Ganesh Naik from Saroltadka in Kadeshwalya in the taluk. Ganesh's elder brother, Sundar Naik, is said to be responsible for the boy's death.

Three brothers, Gopal Naik, Sundar Naik, and Ganesh Naik, live in neighbouring houses at Saroltadka. It is said that on March 27, Sundar Naik came to Sachin when the latter was in the courtyard of Gopal Naik, and hit him in the cheeks, duly accusing him of stealing his mobile phone and sickle. Thereafter, Sachin started to suffer from bouts of ill health.

Sachin was a tenth standard student of Kadeshwalya government high school. He was already under immense pressure on account of final examinations, and the ill health caused after he was hit, took away his self confidence, it is said. Sachin appeared for Kannada examination conducted on March 30. Since Saturday, his health condition turned serious, and the family members admitted him into a private hospital at Puttur. Sachin did not show improvement in his health condition, and died at around 4 am on Sunday April 3.

A complaint filed in the rural station here has stated that Sachin died after blood supply to his brain was affected after his uncle, Sundar Naik, hit him in the cheeks. The policemen are hunting for Sundar Naik, who is absconding.

Rural station house officer here, Rakshit Gowda, and other personnel visited the spot, conducted inquest, registered a case, and took up investigation.
