"The boys were regular miscreants. They used to create indiscipline all the time, they even used to bunk classes and the school, they had a group. We did counsel them, but it had no effect. The victim Mukesh Kumar ji was their class teacher. We tried to inform their parents, summoned them but none of them paid heed. Then, we posted letters when parents of a few children came to the school and we informed them," said Jasveer Chillar, the history teacher.

Chillar further said the incident took place after 5 pm when Kumar was arranging answer sheets. He also said that the accused stabbed Kumar and ran away.

'We came running, but by that time, the accused had run away. They were seen running away. We tried to catch them, but they jumped across the wall and ran away," he said.

According to reports, the police has identified the two boys and detained them.

School authorities said Mukesh Kumar, a Hindi teacher, was allegedly attacked with a knife in a school room after an examination yesterday. Kumar, 45, who was on ventilator support at the Balaji Action Hospital succumbed to his injuries this morning.
