A horrific act of violence at a private school in Ahmedabad has resulted in the death of a 15-year-old Class 10 student, who was allegedly stabbed by a junior from the ninth grade. The incident has triggered widespread anger, leading to protests and vandalism at the school.

The school premises were vandalized, and there were reports of staff being assaulted, prompting a heavy police deployment to control the situation.
