Five assailants arrested after class-12 student fatally stabbed in west Delhi school dispute

On Wednesday in Mohan Garden, west Delhi, a 17-year-old class-12 pupil from Government Senior Secondary School was fatally stabbed while his classmate was assaulted by a group of five people. The conflict began when another student complained to a teacher that the victim’s friend was not wearing prescribed school shoes, leading to a fight inside the school and later a coordinated attack after classes ended. Police identified three of the attackers as fellow students and, within two to three hours, detained three minors and arrested two adult men.

A knife used in the stabbing was found near the school gate, and forensic teams collected evidence at the scene. The deceased’s father, an ex-serviceman now employed as a gunman in Gurugram, was identified by authorities. A murder case has been filed under relevant sections.
