IMPHAL, May 26: Following appeals from the parents of Sanasam Diyabi Singh, a student of class X of Grace English in Cachar, Assam, to look into his death on May 21, the State government has decided to depute a State level Fact finding team.
The team will consist of DIG Range II, Dr S Ibocha Singh, addl director (Education-S/ Valley) and Sr Research Officer, Education (S) T Geetchandra Sharma, according to an official order issued by deputy secretary Education (S).
The team will have to submit its report by June 1.
It said the team will look into the antecedents of the school, the persons who run the school and all relevant facts pertaining to the school and its management that may be of importance both to the case as well as `to throw light to the State government as to what type of institutions are being run outside Manipur that entices the students of the State to join them.`
It further said that the team may look into the possibility of the school taking students from the State allegedly as `orphans`™ and deriving `pecuniary benefits` through such false representation of facts, which in the present case may have given them the authority of being the `parents/ guardian` to the deceased and even collect the body thereafter and keep it in their custody.
Further according to the order, the team shall visit the Grace English School, PO Ujan Tarapur, Cachar, Assam and enquire into the various contradictory information given to the parents of the deceased.
