A friend of the deceased boy told police that he was upset over some issue and perhaps that led him to taking the extreme step, the officer said.

"However the friend could not confirm why the boy was stressed. The police are yet to talk to the boy's parents in detail about it," Dwivedi said.

Further investigation and legal proceedings in the case are underway, police said.
