- The attack took place inside a South Point School classroom at about 12:29 pm on Wednesday when a Class 9 pupil allegedly struck a classmate with a sharp object.
- The injured boy, about 15 years old, suffered deep lacerations to his neck and cuts to his left hand, underwent surgery at Ruby General Hospital, and is reported to be stable.
- School staff gave first aid, rushed the victim to the infirmary and then to hospital, informed the parents, and removed and counselled the accused before his father took him home.
- South Point filed a police complaint with Gariahat station and officers say they are examining the case but have not made any arrests; reports that a knife was brought from home and details about the accused’s background remain unverified.
- The incident has heightened scrutiny of on‑campus safety measures, screening for weapons, and the provision of psychological support for students and staff, and may trigger juvenile‑justice procedures if charges follow.
