Uchana deputy superintendent of police (DSP) Naveen said the incident took place around 4 pm when the trio came out of the coaching centre. A group of seven to eight youths, waiting outside, asked them who among them was Aryan.

“When Aryan confirmed his identity, they opened attack on him with sharp-edged weapons. When his friends tried to rescue him, they came under attack too,” the DSP said, adding that the trio was taking coaching for competitive exams.

The reason behind the murder is yet to be ascertained. Police have launched a manhunt and are reviewing closed-circuit television cameras near the incident site to identify the assailants.
