17-Year-Old Student Killed in Chandigarh Shooting Linked to School Rivalry
A 17-year-old student named Naitik was shot dead and another person critically injured in a firing incident in Chandigarh's Sector 22 on Thursday night. The attack involved juveniles on a motorcycle and followed an earlier clash between two groups of school friends, reportedly fueled by videos posted on Instagram. The autorickshaw driver was also injured. Police have detained suspects and are investigating the incident, which appears linked to a longstanding rivalry dating back to their school days.
