In a tragic incident outside Rajkiya Sarvodaya Bal Vidyalaya No. 2 in Shakarpur, Delhi, a 14-year-old boy, Ishu Gupta, was fatally stabbed after a fight with a classmate on Friday. The Class 9 student succumbed to injuries after being attacked by a group reportedly summoned by the accused classmate.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Abhishek Dhania revealed that the altercation began during a school break at 4 p.m. when the accused borrowed a mobile phone and made a call discussing a conflict with Ishu. The accused allegedly instructed the person on the call to “send people.”
At around 6 p.m., as students were leaving the school, the accused was seen waiting outside with a group. The confrontation escalated when one of the accused’s accomplices stabbed Ishu in the thigh, causing critical injuries. The group fled the scene immediately after the attack.
School staff rushed Ishu to Hedgewar Hospital, from where he was referred to GTB Hospital. Despite medical efforts, he succumbed to his injuries.
Police launched a swift investigation, reviewing CCTV footage, interviewing witnesses, and analyzing technical evidence. This coordinated effort led to the apprehension of all seven suspects, including five juveniles and two adults — Saarthi (19), a college student, and Aman Kumar (31), a dairy shop owner.
The knife used in the attack, along with blood-stained clothes and shoes, was recovered as evidence. According to the police, the suspects were planning to flee the city but were intercepted before they could escape.
This tragic case underscores the pressing need for conflict resolution measures and preventive actions within schools to ensure student safety.
