Staff Reporter

Thiruvananthapuram: The body of a schoolboy was found on the railway track near All Saints College on Monday morning.

The police identified the deceased as Nithin, a tenth standard student of St. Joseph’s High School.

Nithin’s father, Napoleon, of Kannanthura, had filed a man missing complaint with the police on Tuesday evening after his son failed to return home after tuition. Nithin had not been attending school for the past two days because of fever. He had left his home for tuition on a bicycle at 5.30 p.m. Nithin had made two calls, one to his father and another to his neighbour, from two different telephone booths at Karickakam. Nithin reportedly told his father that he had been abducted and was now at a ‘strange place.’

The investigating officer, Circle Inspector B. Suresh Kumar said Nithin had told his neighbour’s daughter, a girl of his own age, that he would meet her on Wednesday ‘if alive.’

The CI said the injuries on Nithin’s body indicated that he was run over by a train.
