The boy collapsed on the ground and the attacker allegedly tried to flee from the spot, but the passersby caught him.

The people saw the boy bleeding profusely. They called the police after which the injured was taken to a nearby hospital where doctors declared him brought dead.

The alleged attacker was handed over to police and statements of the injured boys were recorded.

A senior official said, “We have registered a case under section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code at the Shakarpur Police station. The boy has been sent to a juvenile home.”

The family of the victim said that their son was at home around 4 pm when he received a call from his friend. He told his mother that he is going to school to meet his friends and will come back soon.

“At 7.30pm we received a call to reach the hospital where I found him dead. This was a plan to call him outside school. We are waiting for the police to give us the real picture,” the victim’s mother said.
