A 16-year-old orphan died at the David Sassoon Children’s Home, Matunga, after being allegedly assaulted by four boys, including a 12-year-old, at the facility. The victim was brought to the shelter on August 6 after the DB Marg police found him loitering at Girgaon Chowpatty, and felt he was mentally unstable. The Shivaji Park police have registered a case of murder. 

The police said Nishad apparently defecated inside the room where he had been put up and the stink enraged the four who became violent.
