A 15-year-old school student died after being allegedly assaulted by a group of boys in outer Delhi’s Mangolpuri area, an official said on Saturday.

The victim, a Class 10 student, was allegedly attacked by a group of boys on Friday night following an argument that reportedly began with a quarrel among schoolchildren. According to police, after school hours, some outsiders joined in and assaulted him.

He was rushed to a nearby hospital in an injured condition, where he succumbed during treatment, he said.

A senior police officer said a case has been registered and multiple teams have been formed to identify and apprehend the assailants. The local police are scanning CCTV footage from the vicinity and questioning eyewitnesses.
