Parents of the deceased children have also begun a hunger strike to demand justice for their kids

More than four years after three students of Virar's Vagad Gurukul International School drowned in the Sukh river behind the school premises, parents of the victims are still waiting for justice. Frustrated family members on Tuesday thus staged a protest at Azad Maidan demanding that a fresh investigation be carried out by the CBI in the case.

The protesting members have also begun a hunger strike. "For the last four years, we have been fighting to get justice for our innocent children. Those responsible for our children's deaths are not being punished," said Suresh Chhadwa, one of the three boys' father.
