Yamunanagar: A class 12 student of one of the leading schools of Haryana's Yamunanagar shot his principal dead because he had been recently suspended and expelled from the school.
Principal Ritu Chhabra, 47, was shot at thrice at her chest, stomach and shoulder from a close range with a .32 bore gun by the student in the premises of Swami Vivekanand Public School between 11.30 am and 12 noon. The school is in Thapar Colony of Yamunanagar town, around 110 km from Chandigarh.
Police told IANS that the licensed pistol belonged to his father. During investigation, it came to light that the student stole his father's licensed revolver by breaking the wooden almirah at his home. He took the revolver without the knowledge of his parents, SP Kalia told PTI.
Prima facie investigations by the police suggest that the boy came on a motorcycle accompanied by at least one of his friends and headed straight to the principal's office.
The 18 year old commerce student had been rusticated as he had low attendance for picking fights with other students.
The police have registered a case against the student. His father is also likely to be booked under the Arms Act, police told IANS.
