The investigation into the death of a 17-year-old student at Sacred Heart School in Koderma district, India, has intensified following the recovery of 12 live cartridges from the room of a hostel guard, Vikas Kumar. The cartridges were discovered in a mug during a police search and are being treated as an independent criminal case, with no connection to the student's death established thus far, according to Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Anil Kumar. The student was found dead in his hostel room, and while the school has labeled the incident a suicide, his family is raising concerns of foul play, leading to protests that blocked NH-20. The school director, Pramod Kumar, indicated that the situation is further complicated by the student's local ties, resulting in heightened pressure on the administration.
