Two minors were today detained in connection with the alleged murder of a 19-year-old boy by a group of students in a student mess here, police said.
"The two minors involved in the murder have been detained whereas the other accused are still at large and efforts are on to nab them," Mahaveernagar police station circle incharge Kaluram Verma said.
The duo would be produced before the Child Welfare Committee (CWC), he said.
Satyarth alias Satya Prakesh, a resident of Nabada district in Bihar was attacked by nearly 20-25 students while he was having dinner in a mess.
Satyarth died on the spot while another coaching student from Bihar Sandeep Kumar (18), also sustained knife wounds in the attack.
Those detained are taking coaching in institutes here, Verrma said.
The body of Satyarth meanwhile was handed over to his family after post-morem and his last rites were carried out in Kishorepura cremation ground, he said.
The family members accused the coaching centres of being careless and irresponsible.
"They did not even inform us of the tragedy and were continuously making calls for fees. Kota is now no longer a safe place for the coaching students," one of Satyarth's relatives said.

Meanwhile, the state government has ordered a CID investigation into the case and the agency has started its probe.
Police said CID officials visited the village and talked to the victim's parents and relatives and the locals.
