The parents rushed to the park, untied their son and took him to a nearby hospital where doctors declared him brought dead,” said station head officer (SHO), Jankipuram, Brijesh Kumar Tripathi.

The boy’s father then informed the police and the body was later sent for post mortem examination.

“The boy was found hanging from a cloth from the handle of a swing in the park. No suicide note was recovered,” said sub-inspector Ashutosh Pandey who is investigating the case.

He added that the family has not filed any complaint.

Assistant commissioner of police, Aliganj, Ashutosh Kumar, said the post mortem concluded hanging as the cause of death.

“The parents had scolded him on Tuesday for not performing well in the chemistry examination,” said a source in the police department.

City Montessori School Aliganj principal Shivani Singh expressed shock over the incident. She confirmed that half-yearly examinations are underway in the school.
