Teen stabbed outside Faridabad school

A Class IX student of a private school in Faridabad was seriously injured after being attacked with a knife outside the school on Monday. Police said an FIR had been registered and an investigation was under way.

The victim, identified as Utkarsh, a student of Vishwas Convent School, Dabua Colony, sustained deep stab wounds on his chest and arm and was admitted to a private hospital.

In her complaint, his mother Geeta Devi said she received a call from the school informing her that her son had been attacked and taken to hospital. “When I asked my son, he said that Shivam, a student of his school, and one of his friends had attacked him. It was around 1.30 pm when he came out of the school; a youth accompanying Shivam pulled a small, sharp knife from his pocket and stabbed Utkarsh in the chest and arm. As blood began to flow, the two attackers fled the spot,” she said.

“An FIR has been registered against Shivam and another person, and we are investigating,” said Inspector Randhir Singh, SHO of Dabua Police Station.
