The Vasant Kunj police are also investigating the case.

The parallel investigation will be conducted by Rishipal, Additional Deputy Commissioner (South--II), a senior official said.

The decision to form the parallel team came after Aakriti's family members met Delhi Police Commissioner Y S Dadwal onTuesday and apprised him about the incident.

Following protest by parents and fellow students who blamed the school authorities for Aakriti's death, Delhi Government had also ordered an inquiry to look into all aspects of the incident.

Under intense pressure, school authorities have also set up a committee to probe allegations of 'negligence' leading to her death.
