On Saturday, Anjali discovered upon receiving her class 11 results that she did notscore the highest as she had expected. “Her parents told us she did not score fewer marks, but could not come first as she had expected. This had made her upset,” reported Officer Raj Kumar, the investigation officer appointed to the case.

He added that her parents received a call from her during their visit to a nearby village requesting them to return immediately.
