Faridabad, February 8: Four students of a private school on Sohna Bypass Road near Ballabgarh were stabbed on Tuesday by a senior student, who was "angry" that his girlfriend was being "humiliated'' regularly by the victims.
The incident took place around 1.30pm during the lunch break. Police said the Class XII student attacked the students studying in Class XI with a kitchen knife, which he had brought in his school bag.
"We have registered a case at Ballabgarh City police station. We have apprehended the accused, who said the argument was mainly over a female friend,'' said Raj Kumar, DCP, Ballabgarh.
Investigating officer Ajay Kumar said the four victims are in ICU and two of them are in a serious condition.
Sources said one of the Class XI students was with three of his friends during the lunch break when the accused walked up to him and started an argument, saying they were taunting him about his girlfriend for a long time and that he would not take it "lying down'' any longer.
The police said the accused had on several occasions challenged the Class XI student to have a fight. The two students had earlier fought several times, they said.
"During the scuffle, the accused attacked the student, injuring him seriously. When his friends tried to intervene, they too met with the same fate. After injuring the four, the accused fled from the spot. As he was carrying a knife, no one dared to stop him. Later, the injured were taken to a private hospital by the school management. One of the injured was later shifted to another hospital when his condition deteriorated," a police source said.
