New Delhi: A shocking incident unfolded in Kombettu, Dakshina Kannada, when a Muslim schoolgirl was stabbed by a fellow student. The attacker, a Hindu student, used a knife to carry out the assault. The injured girl was quickly rushed to the government hospital in Puttur, where she is currently receiving treatment.
The local police responded swiftly to the incident. Upon inspecting the scene and reviewing CCTV footage, the authorities managed to apprehend the accused student. While the investigation is ongoing, the motive behind the attack remains unclear at this stage. Initially, the school's principal misreported the nature of the girl’s injuries, claiming they were caused by a glass accidentally falling on her hand. Acting on this assumption, the principal sent the student to the government hospital for first aid. However, in a subsequent video statement, the injured student clarified that this was not the case and that she was indeed stabbed by her peer.
