JAIPUR: A student of Class 11, Shubham, was brutally stabbed to death by some miscreants in the Udhyog Nagar Police Station area in Kota, Rajasthan, officials said on Wednesday.
Police officials suspect that a rivalry linked to social media may have triggered the murder.
According to reports, Shubham was returning home from a wedding ceremony with friends late on Tuesday night. After reaching Kota from Gadepan, the group dispersed and headed toward their respective homes.
While Shubham was alone in the area under the jurisdiction of Udhyog Nagar Police Station, unidentified miscreants who were allegedly hiding in nearby bushes ambushed him. The attackers reportedly stabbed him multiple times in the chest and waist.
Severely injured and bleeding profusely, Shubham was rushed to a private hospital in Vigyan Nagar. However, doctors said he succumbed to his injuries on the way due to excessive blood loss.
