Hyderabad Principal Stabbed 27 Times; Two Class‑10 Students Arrested
· India · Times of India, Zee News, NDTV
Police arrested two Class 10 students from Roopa Reddy’s school after her murder on 11 August in her Nalgonda district home, where she was stabbed 27 times. Roopa’s last phone conversation with her aunt included the word “babu,” prompting investigators to focus on students. After the murder the students were seen spending money lavishly and were found with Rs 1.51 lakh and an iPhone. Investigators link the students’ earlier misconduct—stealing and drinking—to Roopa’s decision to move them out of the hostel and warn their parents. Police say the boys may have targeted Roopa because they believed she had cash at home on the day school collected fees. The case highlights concerns about school security and juvenile crime in India.
Why it matters
The incident raises questions about safety protocols in private schools and could prompt policy changes to protect school staff and students.
