Jaipur: A disgruntled student has been detained, along with his two minor friends, for stabbing a 54-year-old schoolteacher and poet in Rajasthan’s Jhalawar district on Tuesday.
The 16-year-old boy plotted the murder after the teacher, Shivcharan Sain, reprimanded and expelled him from school, police said on Friday.
Jhalawar SP Richa Tomar said: “Sain had learnt about the accused’s love affair with another student. He reprimanded the teenager and later dismissed him from the school. The accused harboured a deep sense of hurt against his teacher.”
Sain had on multiple occasions asked the accused to behave properly in the school, but the latter did not change his ways, Tomar added.
The minor told police that he had been planning Sain’s murder for the past several days to take revenge for insulting him in front of the entire school.
When Sain was returning home from school three days ago, the accused attacked him multiple times with a sharp weapon and fled on his bike after the teacher collapsed on the spot in a pool of blood. “We have recovered a knife and a hammer used in the murder,” the SP said.
Sain’s murder sent shockwaves in the district. He was not just an award-winning teacher but also a renowned Hadauti poet.
Police said one of the accused called himself “shooter” on social media.
