Class 1 student stabbed in the chest and stomach by senior student in Lucknow

In a case eerily similar to the one at Ryan International school, a class I student was reportedly stabbed by a senior girl student in hope that the school would shut down early. The seven-year-old was allegedly stabbed by a senior girl student. He is now at the trauma centre of King George’s Medical University (KGMU). The boy got deep wounds on chest and stomach but is now reportedly out of danger.According to the victim’s statement a ‘didi with boy-cut hair’ took him to the bathroom on the second floor, slapped and then stabbed him. The boy told the police late on Wednesday that the girl while beating him, said that she was doing so to get the school to close early. The incident took place at the Brightland Inter College school in Triveninagar on Tuesday but was reported only when the KGMU authorities revealed it to the media.

School officials believe connection with Blue Whale game

The school officials suspect a connection to the deadly “Blue Whale” game, which involves a set of violent tasks that end in suicide. The director of the school said that the footage from around 70 security cameras in the school was being examined. What is more shocking is the reason behind this act.

Talking to the media, SSP Lucknow Deepak Kumar said, “He was attacked by a girl student of class 6 with a knife used to chop vegetables. We have sent the hair of the girl found on the body of the child, for DNA test. She will be presented before Juvenile Justice Board soon.”

Meanwhile, Reena Manas, the principal of Brightland school has been taken under police custody. The school has also been slapped with a showcause notice by the district inspector of schools.
