In the most recent developments in the murder case of a Class IX student at the Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS), a Bhubaneswar JMFC court ordered eight suspects, including an additional CEO of the institute, to judicial prison after rejecting their requests for bail.
According to sources, all eight of the accused were transferred to Jharpada Jail after their bail was denied.
KISS Secondary School headmaster Rashmiranjan Nayak, TGT teacher Binay Kumar Gochhi, senior academic coordinator Prasanna Kumar Malla, teacher Pradeep Kumar Das, KISS hostel assistant field officer Hemant Kumar Mahapatra, KISS boys' hostel supervisor Shubhakanta Behera, and assistant teacher Sujata Mishra are among the accused who have been sent to judicial custody.

In order to determine their precise involvement in the incident, police have also detained three students and are still questioning them extensively.
Remand in Court Following the Denial of Bail
According to sources, all eight of the accused were brought before the JMFC court in Bhubaneswar following their detention on Wednesday night for allegedly being negligent and concealing information related to the student's death.
Citing the gravity of the accusations and the level of the inquiry, the judge denied their requests for release and mandated judicial detention. The defendants were transferred to Jharpada Jail in accordance with the court's ruling.
Police Verify Murder, Alleged Concealment
S. Dev Datta Singh, the commissioner of Bhubaneswar-Cuttack Police, revealed earlier yesterday that the Class IX kid was killed by his peers and that the crime was purposefully covered up.The deceased was strangled after a small argument by a group of students known as the "Joker gang," according to police findings.
With obvious signs of neck compression, the post-mortem examination verified that the death was caused by strangulation. The Commissioner stated that testimony from other students and a thorough investigation led to the result.
Police also disclosed that minors were reportedly intimidated and coerced into keeping quiet about the murder. Investigators claim that staff, instructors, and institution officials put pressure on pupils to hide the incident. Witness pupils have been given protection, according to the police.
Numerous parts of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, such as parts 103(1), 238, 296, 232, 249(a), and 351(3), have been utilised to record cases against those who are allegedly involved in cover-ups and associated offences.

According to the most recent reports, police stated that the investigation is still ongoing and that more information would be presented to the court as it moves forward.
