According to sources, the fight was over some girl in the school," the SHO said. In a similar incident in December 2020, an ordinary classroom fight over seats had turned deadly in Bulandshahr district when a Class 10 student had shot dead his classmate. The two boys, both aged 14, had fought over seats in the class and one of them was so incensed that on the following day, he got his uncle's gun to school and shot the boy dead.
