Biraj Pachisia, a class V student of a reputed city-based school, was declared “brought dead” on being taken to a nearby nursing home, the officer said.
“The boy jumped off the terrace of an 11-storey residential building on Saturday. There are several injury marks on his body. Doctors at a private nursing home stated that he died due to the fall. We are waiting for the post-mortem report.
