The student was allegedly beaten to death by his seniors because they believed permission to leave campus was denied to them as part of punishment for a wrong that the student had committed.
The senior students believed the student had stolen biscuits from a shop during a school outing.
In the letter, Ms Negi charged the school authorities with trying to hush up the matter by not correctly informing the boy's parents.
Despite being aware of how the boy died, the school authorities attributed his death to food poisoning to cover up the killing, she wrote.
The manager of the school, its warden, sports teacher and two students are in police custody.
