The Story in Brief
An 18-year-old youth was allegedly stabbed outside a government school in northwest Delhi’s Jahangir Puri on Thursday after a Class VIII student mistook him for another student, police said. The intended target was absent from school, according to the police inquiry.
The victim, identified as Raahit, suffered a stab wound below the abdomen. He was taken to BJRM Hospital and later referred to BSA Hospital, where he was stated to be stable. Police said the juvenile had quarrelled with the other student two days earlier and apprehended him at the school gate after the incident.
The Indian Opinion
The incident should not become a lazy claim that schools are broadly unsafe or that every juvenile offender is beyond reform. The facts point to a targeted assault that went wrong, with a student allegedly carrying a weapon to settle an earlier quarrel. The immediate test is whether the inquiry establishes how the weapon reached the school and whether supervision failed.
