A Dalit boy studying in class 10th at Jawahar Navodaya School was found hanging in his classroom in the Pragpura area of Rajasthan's Kotputli-Behror district, police said on Friday.
According to police, the incident occurred Wednesday, and the boy's family has refused to accept his body.
They are holding a dharna demanding the arrest of two teachers, whom they have accused of killing the boy and then hanging his body to make it look like a suicide, they said.

Kotputali-Behror's Superintendent of Police, Ranjeeta Sharma, said the family has alleged the two teachers used to harass the boy.
"The postmortem of the dead body could not be conducted because the family members have been staging a dharna. Efforts are on to pacify them," she said.
An FIR was filed against the accused teachers under several sections, including Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), police said. No arrest has been made so far.
