Jaipur: A 16-year-old girl studying in Class 11 in a government school situated at Malrana Dungar area of Sawai Madhopur district was attacked with a blade by a 17-year-old girl outside the school.

According to police, the incident took place during lunch time when the girl, identified as Jyoti, stepped out of school premises to have drinking water at a nearby temple.
“Jyoti met a girl who asked her for help in putting eye drops in her eyes. As both went inside the temple premises, the girl asked Jyoti if she could pluck a guava for her from a tree.
