A 23-year-old second-year MBA student of a prominent business school in Ahmedabad was allegedly stabbed to death by an unidentified driver of a car after an argument over rash driving.

According to a PTI report, two students of Ahmedabad's Mudra Institute of Communications (MICA) were returning on a motorcycle to the hostel of their institute after buying a cake at a bakery shop around 11.30 pm on Sunday.

The duo had a heated argument with the speeding car driver at the Bopal locality crossroads over his rash driving, Ahmedabad Rural's superintendent of police (SP) Om Prakash Jat said.
