A 16-year-old boy attacked by two youths over a suspicion that he was in a relationship with one assailant's sister in Rajasthan's Baran district died during treatment at MBS Hospital here early on Sunday, police said.

The teenager was attacked with a knife by Farahan and Sahil on Thursday while he was taking a stroll near his house, Anta SHO Mahendra Maru said.

He was taken to a local hospital from where he was referred to Kota. He died early on Sunday, he added.

The teenager and Farahan's sister studied in the same school. The girl had tied a rakhi on him a day before Raksha Bandhan following which the boy presented her with a gift. The gift led to Farahan suspecting that the pair was in a relationship, the SHO said.

The police on Sunday incorporated Section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code in the existing case of attempt to murder and detained them for interrogation.
