17-year-old Ravi Verma fell down from the school building when he was flying kite along with his friends on Friday evening, said a senior police officer.
Ravi lived with his parents at Gokulpuri. His father Brijendra Verma is a government employee.
"We have questioned the students who were accompanying Ravi at the time of the accident as well as staff of the school to rule out any foul play," he said.
