· India · Indian Express, Zee News, NDTV
The Telangana police have arrested two 16-year-old students for the murder of their school principal in Nalgonda district. The principal was found stabbed to death at her residence on August 11, after which investigators sifted through 80 people to identify the suspects. The breakthrough came when police realized the victim had used the word “babu” during her final phone call to address schoolboys. Authorities traced the suspects to hostellers who resented being rebuked by the principal for bad habits and spending problems. The premeditated crime involved the teenagers purchasing knives, masks, and gloves before breaking into the house and robbing Rs 2.5 lakh in cash.
Why it matters
The arrest highlights a violent escalation in student-teacher conflicts, raising serious concerns about juvenile crime, hostel security, and the safety of educators in residential institutions.
