Overview
- A 16-year-old Class 10 student, identified as Lavkush, was stabbed in the chest and upper abdomen during an extra morning class and was declared dead at the district hospital on Friday, June 12, 2026.
- Teachers detained the alleged attacker, a fellow 16-year-old student, and handed him to Chandauli Sadar police who registered a case under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
- Authorities have sent the victim's body for postmortem and have begun a formal investigation into the incident.
- The accused told police he attacked after two to three days of alleged verbal abuse by the victim, a statement officials say is being examined and has not been independently corroborated.
- Because both boys are minors the case is moving through juvenile procedures, raising immediate questions about supervision during early-morning tuition and how schools handle student disputes on campus.
