New Delhi, September 27

In a shocking incident, two Class 12 students of a Delhi government school in Nangloi, Sultanpuri, allegedly stabbed their teacher to death in front of their classmates, after they were not allowed to sit for an examination due to low attendance.

The school authorities said Mukesh Kumar, a Hindi teacher, was allegedly attacked with a knife in the classroom after an examination.

Kumar was immediately rushed to the Balaji Action hospital, "but the doctors could not save him".

“The incident occurred between 5 to 5.30 pm. Two students attacked Hindi teacher Mukesh with a knife. He was rushed to Balaji Hospital where authorities asked the staff to deposit money for the treatment,” said Sumit, one of the staff members.

Gulab Sharma, another school staff, described the two students as “criminal-type”, who had failed thrice.

"Their names were stuck off the school, but soon reinstated after pressure from their parents and principal. The students had earlier also threatened Monoj, and he had requested the principal to keep the students. He was very scared. He was stabbed by the students from behind while coming out from the classroom,” Sharma said.

Sharma, however, alleged that the hospital delayed treatment to Mukesh.

Both the students have been arrested. —ANI
