The body was taken to the Sabji Mandi mortuary. As soon as Bharat's parent arrive, the body will be handed over to them," said the police.

A source claimed that Bharat was under pressure for the last few months. He was having a tough time in class and most of his friends used to make fun of him. For few days he stopped interacting with friends and mostly used to stay alone."
