Behrampore:
A student of eight standard has been arrested for allegedly taking a bomb to school in Murshidabad district to teach his senior "a lesson" with whom he had an altercation apparently over a girl, the police said on Saturday.
The 14-year-old boy brought the bomb in his school bag and was waiting for the class X student in front of the school at Kandi on Friday, they said.
As the boy bragged about what he had in his bag, other students informed the teachers, they added.
The boy was then taken to his class room by the school authorities and told to place the bomb in bucket full of water, which he did.
The police was informed and the boy was arrested.
It appears that both the students had taken interest in the same girl, a pupil of their school, and they had a fight over this issue on Thursday, they said.
The class X student did not attend school on Friday as he was unwell.
