Overview

  • Police say a Class 10 student was fatally stabbed near the Maniasha Society gate at Seventh Day Adventist School during dismissal, with reports describing a sharp lab tool or knife used in the attack.
  • An FIR has been registered under juvenile provisions, the accused has been detained, the case has been moved to the Ahmedabad Crime Branch, and FSL teams have examined the scene and collected CCTV footage.
  • The Gujarat State Commission for Protection of Child Rights requested the school’s report on the incident, and the District Education Officer issued a notice for failing to promptly inform authorities.
  • Officers are reviewing viral Instagram messages that purportedly show a confession by the accused, though police say they are verifying the authenticity of the chats.
  • Protests that saw vandalism and assaults on staff have been contained with police deployments and some detentions, and a separate student stabbing in Balasinor days later heightened concern over school safety across Gujarat.
