July 16, we held model elections to choose class representatives. His family

and was upset. On Thursday, he distributed sweets in school saying he was the
second leader in class. I heard from his friends that a few students said there
was no such thing as a ‘second leader’,” said the deceased’s mother Vijaya
Laxmi.
Charan insisted on returning back to his mother’s
kirana store as soon as he returned home with his brother after meeting their
mother.

“Station master M Preeti informed railway police about the body found near the railway tracks between Chityal Station and Ramannapet Station at 7.05 am on Friday morning,” added the officer.
