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.
