A failed and furtive attempt to set his despised and disliked school on fire nearly end up costing a Kolkata based 13 year old boy his life as he is battling for life after suffering from severe burns in the failed and utterly foolhardy attempt........
Yes you did indeed hear or rather read it right; a 13 year old boy from Tiljala is desperately battling for his life in a Kolkata hospital after his utterly despicable attempt to set his allegedly demonic school on fire only ended up putting his pubescent life in deathly peril.........
According to police sources the boy who suffered more than 60% burn injuries in the furtive attempt initially claimed that he had been struck by a bolt of lightning when he sauntered into the school's toilet at around 2:30 pm or so on Wednesday afternoon.........
Subsequent investigations carried out by the local police personnel however threw up the rather startling and macabre fact on Friday that the boy in question had allegedly carried a bottle of petrol with him into the toilet and tried to set a portion of his utterly despised school alight, but only ended up severely injuring himself in the process..........
Teachers, fellow students and classmates let out or revealed the fact that the young fellow had always vehemently hated his school because he was simply incapable of coping up with the syllabus/curriculum, had failed several times and was still languishing in class III despite being 13 years of age.........
His inexperience and lack of knowledge ended up costing him dear as he is currently undergoing a proverbial ordeal by fire in a city hospital and the doctors attending on him are not exactly gung ho about his chances of surviving the self inflicted injuries..........
Ah!!!! the follies of youth and misplaced bravado.........
