Class 6 boy stabs 14-year-old to death in Karnataka’s Hubbali
While sources say that the fight between the boys began over music, the Huballi police are yet to confirm it.
The victim's father, who sells chapatis, said he was shocked when he learned that his son had been stabbed. A Class 6 boy allegedly stabbed his 14-year-old friend to death while playing near their homes in Karnataka’s Hubbali Monday evening.
According to the Hubbali police, the mother of the younger boy rushed the injured teen to Karnataka Medical College and Research Institute (KMC-RI), unaware of the severity of the wound. However, doctors at the hospital declared the victim “dead on arrival”.
The police said they have launched an investigation, and will present the accused before the Juvenile Justice Board.
N Shashi Kumar, Commissioner, Huballi police, said the younger boy stabbed the Class 9 student during a scuffle Monday evening. “It is shocking that a Class 6 student could commit such an act. The father and mother of the victim were at work when the incident took place. He was their only son,” the Hubbali police commissioner said.
