Yamunanagar: A Class 12 student of a private school in Haryana has been detained for allegedly shooting dead the principal on Saturday, officials said.
Upset after being scolded, the commerce student from Yamunanagar attacked principal Ritu Chabra with his father’s licensed revolver, police said.
Chabra suffered three bullet wounds and died in a hospital, Hindutan Times reported.
The student, son of a property dealer, was rusticated from school about a fortnight ago for poor attendance and for picking up fights, an official said.
The official said the student came to school with the weapon around noon and said he wanted to meet the principal. Then he headed straight to Chabra’s room and opened fire.
