AHMEDABAD: A 23-year-old MBA student of MICA was stabbed to death in Ahmedabad’s Bopal area Sunday night after he confronted the attacker about why the latter was speeding. The accused used two knives to fatally puncture the victim’s heart and lungs. The deceased was identified as Priyanshu Jain, a second-year student. He had been preparing for his upcoming placement interviews at MICA and had returned to the campus only three days ago after spending the holidays with his family in Meerut in Uttar Pradesh.
Bopal Police registered an FIR against an unidentified person. “The driver retrieved two knives from his car and tried to stab Jain, who ducked but slipped and fell. As he tried to get up, the driver stabbed him in the back with both knives several times,” the FIR stated.
After the attacker fled, Jain’s friend Prithviraj Mahapatra sought help from passing vehicles. A woman drove them to a private hospital. Sources said he was shifted to a corporate hospital where doctors declared him dead.
