Kasargod, Nov 19: The Hosadurg police have arrested two students in connection to the mysterious death of Abhilash (15), a student from Hosadurg higher secondary school whose body found in a pond a few days ago.
As per sources, the arrested students, both classmates of Abhilash, have admitted to the crime of killing Abhilash by pushing him into the pond. The students are aged 15 and 17.
It is said that Abhilash was in love with a girl in his class, and the two accused boys were also in love with the same girl.
On Friday November 14, the trio went home together in an auto together after school hours and got down at Kushalanagar in Hosadurg. Then they walked together towards their houses. The topic of 'love' appeared during the conversation and the boy aged 17 allegedly hit Abhilash hard which made him bleed on the face.
When Abhilash went to wash his bleeding face in the pond, the same boy allegedly pushed Abhilash into the pond. Abhilash managed to come back from the pond in some time. But again the duo reportedly pushed him into the pond and walked away only after making sure that Abhilash was dead. The duo threw the deceased boy's school bag away from the pond, it is learnt.
The parentst of Abhilash searched for their son in vain and then lodged a police complaint. The next day the bag was found and the body of the deceased was later traced in the nearby pond.
The arrested students upon initial investigations did not reveal anything and acted as if they were not aware of anything. A protest was held by family members and villagers later demanding the arrest of the culprits. But later interrogations by police produced the required results and the students admitted their role in the death of Abhilash, sources said.
