It is learnt that his parents turned down his repeated requests saying Krishna has to make do with old clothes. The parents supposedly reasoned with the kid saying they were not in a position to buy new clothes as they had suffered heavy losses due to the failed crops.
Unconvinced and dejected by the response, Krishna consumed pesticides. He went to the school as usual but attended the class without telling his friends that he consumed pesticides.
Later students informed about it to the teacher who admitted him to a nearby hospital. But Krishna died while being treated at the hospital.
