According to police, the incident took place at a private school in the Sikrauna area during school hours. The victim, a mother of two, was reportedly dragged out of her classroom by the attacker before being repeatedly stabbed with a knife.
Preliminary investigation suggests the accused entered the school through the main gate between 9:30 am and 9:40 am with his face covered by a white cloth. After waiting inside the premises for some time, he allegedly asked school staff about the teacher.
