The incident took place last week under Raidurgam police station limits, said Police Inspector M Ram Babu. The deceased has been identified as Hameed, a class 9 student.

"A group of people was dancing on January 5 night at a function organised by Hameed's kin. One of the participants, Junaid, took out a sword and started swinging it in the air.
