Two class XII students of a government school in West Delhi stabbed their teacher to death. On Monday, while the class sat for their exam, two boys started arguing with the teacher, who wasn't allowing them to sit for the exam due to low attendance. Mukesh Kumar, a professor teaching Hindi in the school, was then stabbed thrice allegedly by the two boys in front of the entire class. "After the stabbing, the duo fled," a police officer said. The incident took place around 5 PM when the students were writing their exam at the Government Senior Secondary School.

The victim was admitted to Balaji Action Hospital, where he died due to excessive bleeding.

One of the accused was rusticated for low attendance, and thus went to the school to speak with Kumar. The other guy was just a friend.

The accused is an 18-year-old while his friend will turn 18 in two months.
