A 23-year-old second-year MBA student of a prominent business school in Ahmedabad was allegedly stabbed to death by an unidentified driver of a car after an argument over rash driving.
According to a PTI report, two students of Ahmedabad’s Mudra Institute of Communications (MICA) were returning on a motorcycle to the hostel of their institute after buying a cake at a bakery shop around 11.30 pm on Sunday.
The duo had a heated argument with the speeding car driver at the Bopal locality crossroads over his rash driving, Ahmedabad Rural’s superintendent of police (SP) Om Prakash Jat said.
The car driver trailed the students for about 200 metres before taking out a knife from his vehicle and stabbing one of them, the police official said.
The victim, identified as Priyanshu Jain, was rushed to a hospital where he succumbed to the injuries due to internal bleeding, the police officer told PTI.
“The accused has not yet been identified but we are on a lookout for him and will nab him soon,” he said.
