The case is being probed by a Special Investigation Team, including the Station House Officer of the Sector 53 police station and two personnel from Cyber Police Station.

No FIR has been registered yet,” ACP (DLF) Karan Goyal said, Indian Express reported.

National Commission For Child Rights Took Cognizance

The National Commission for Child Rights took cognizance of the matter and wrote to the DCP of the area asking him to investigate the allegations made by the girl. “Further, it is recommended that after rendering counseling to the aforesaid girl, her statement may be recorded. Similarly, the friends of the deceased boy may also be provided counselling by a professional counsellor, in order to remove the trauma and record their statements. Also, as per the allegations made by the complainant that the posts are still circulating, action to remove these alleged posts may also be simultaneously taken to avoid undesired coverage,” the letter states.

History Of The Case

The 17-year-old boy committed suicide purportedly after a girl accused him of sexual assault on social media. The incident took place in Sector 53 area of Gurugram, at around 11:30 PM at night on May 4. The boy jumped off from the 11th floor of the apartment where his family resides. His suicide is being linked to the accusation by the girl since this incident reportedly took place hours after the girl claimed that the boy “attacked her two years ago” and that she was “tired of keeping this a secret”, as per an HT report.   No suicide note was, however, found and the messages retrieved from the boy’s phone showed that fellow students warned him that the police would question him.

Since this case took place in parallel with the Bois Locker Room case, it was speculated that both of these cases might be somehow connected. However, no such link was found.
