Commissioner S Devdutta Singh confirmed that the victim was murdered by strangulation, and the crime was committed by the three students who had formed a gang called ‘Joker Gang’.
“The boy died on December 12, and his family lodged a complaint alleging murder in Keonjhar district next day.

The Commissioner stated, “We investigated the scene of crime, questioned several individuals, and analysed the post-mortem report, concluding it was a case of murder. The students who revealed the information have been provided safe shelter to prevent pressure or intimidation.”
The accused students have been produced before the Juvenile Justice Board, and the investigation is underway.
