Shamli: Protests erupt after school student stabbed to death over old enmity

A school student has been stabbed to death allegedly by two miscreants at Kairi village in the neighbouring Shamli district, police said.

The victim, Kuldeep Kashyap (16) was attacked on Tuesday when he was returning from school in the village under Babri police station, they said.

Irate villagers later blocked the Babri-Thana Bhawan road for hours and demanded action against the accused, police said, adding old enmity is being suspected as the motive behind the incident.
