Minor brutally stabbed in Uttar Pradesh madarsa

A ten-year-old student at a madarsa was stabbed and his throat was slit while he was sleeping in the seminary’s hostel in Meerut on Tuesday.
The class four student was rushed to Medical College Hospital in Meerut in a critical condition. The motive behind the crime is not clear.
Suspecting insider’s role in the brutal attack, local police have detained two madarsa employees for questioning.
According to sources, the blood trail went straight into the room of a seminary staffer and “there were visible attempts to wipe the stains.” The knife used in the crime belonged to the common kitchen of the madarsa, and it was later recovered from a field next to the seminary’s boundary.
“There were 17 students in the hall when the attack took place. All of them were sleeping. Assailants entered the room clandestinely and slit the student’s throat and stabbed him. The attackers fled after a student woke up to the pandemonium and started shouting for help,” said a madarsa staffer.
