“The murder was premeditated. The murderer must not be punished according to juvenile rules. These rules have now become outdated. The murder was cruel. The victim’s father is truly innocent. We demanded 2 crores in compensation, but the government has offered 51 lakhs. We also demand that the school administration be suspended immediately,” said a member of the community seeking justice for the victim’s family.
Meanwhile, the Rajasthan Congress has formed a four-member committee to investigate the incident in which a class 10 student in Udaipur died on Monday, three days after being stabbed by his schoolmate on August 16.
