Student Stabbed Over Social Media Videos
23 Oct
Summary
- A student was stabbed by a classmate after a video dispute.
- The attacker, aged 14, has been detained by police.
- School expelled the attacker and is enhancing safety measures.
A 14-year-old student is in police custody following a violent incident at a private school in Balewadi, Pune. The boy allegedly stabbed a female classmate, also 14, outside a classroom on Friday afternoon. The victim sustained injuries to her face and chest and is reported to be in stable condition.
The motive behind the attack appears to stem from a dispute over videos the boy had posted on social media. These videos, reportedly taken without consent during a school picnic on October 17-18, led to confrontations with other students, who compelled him to delete them. The injured girl reportedly had no prior altercation with the assailant.
Authorities have detained the boy, and a case for attempt to murder is being registered. The school has expelled the student responsible for the attack and stated they are implementing enhanced safety measures, including bag checks for senior students, to ensure a secure learning environment.
