The country has not yet moved on from the heinous murder case of Shraddha Walkar in the national capital Delhi and now in yet another tragic and shocking incident a 19-year-old student was stabbed to death on a Mumbai road and the culprit is alleged to have fled India.

The student who was severely injured by the tragic attack was taken to the nearest hospital with severe injuries, where the doctor declared him dead, according to the police.

In Mumbai’s Chunabhatti neighborhood, the victim was apparently on his way home from college. The police say that the case has something to do with a love affair.
