New Delhi: Delhi Police on Monday prima facie ruled out that six-year-old Devansh Kakrora was sexually assaulted before he was found drowned in a water tank in his school.
Delhi Police commissioner BS Bassi told reporters that the autopsy report received from AIIMS hospital did not mention any signs of such injuries.
"An initial reading of the post mortem report does not suggest sexual assault. Death is due to drowning," he said.
Devansh was found drowned in a water tank at the Ryan International school in South Delhi on January 30. His parents have alleged that he was possibly sodomised and murdered.
The post mortem report, accessed by CNN-IBN, said:
# No signs of sexual assault or external wounds
# Lungs and other vital organs were full of tank water, which means he was alive when he fell in
# Cause of death is asphyxia, or lack of oxygen.
Earlier, CCTV footage from the school campus showed the school officials rushed him to hospital after an hour of him going missing.
The CCTV pictures went against allegations that there was a delay of hours after he went missing and the time the school responded.
The probe showed that Devansh Kakrora was last spotted alive by a camera in the lobby of the school at 12.16 pm.
Nearly an hour later, at 1.20 pm, CCTV visuals showed him being rushed towards the parking area by the school staff. Devansh was unconscious at that time.
At 1.23 pm the TV grab showed the boy being rushed to hospital in a WagonR car.
But the boy's father, Ramhet Meena, said he is not satisfied with the Delhi Police investigation and has demanded a CBI probe. Delhi's deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has backed the parents' claim.
