Tragic School Stabbing Sparks Chaos in Ahmedabad

In a tragic turn of events, a class 10 student at a private school in Ahmedabad was stabbed to death, allegedly by a class 9 junior, following a minor altercation. The incident, which occurred on Tuesday, resulted in the student's death later that night during treatment, according to police reports.

On Wednesday, the aftermath of the violent act saw an infuriated mob vandalize the Seventh Day Adventist School premises in a bid for retribution.
