In a shocking incident in Odisha's Nayagarh district, five minor students of a madrasa have been arrested for the alleged murder of a 12-year-old boy. The police have confirmed that the victim was killed and his body was discarded in a septic tank.

The crime reportedly took place on September 2, with police registering the case the following day. Preliminary investigations revealed that the victim had threatened to expose senior students involved in sexual abuse, which led to his tragic death.
