Police said the teacher was stabbed in the neck and chest at least 18 to 20 times in quick succession, resulting in her death at the spot.
The assailant masked his face with a white cloth. He entered the school premises through the main entrance between 9.30am and 9.40am and asked for the teacher after waiting inside for some time.
Inspector Kewal Singh, the station house officer of Faridabad's Sector-58 police station, said that as soon as the teacher came out, the assailant dragged her and stabbed her multiple times after pulling out a knife.
