Youth stabbed to death outside Mumbai school

A 17-year-old youth was stabbed to death outside a school in suburban Bhandup today, police said.

Sushil Verma, the victim, was attacked with sharp-edged weapons when he came out of the school this afternoon.

He was taken to a nearby hospital where doctors declared him dead on arrival, said a police officer.

It is suspected that an altercation regarding a girl led to the attack, he said.

A case under IPC section 302 (murder) has been registered and further probe is on.
