3. Teen ‘Strangles Minor Girl Over 3-Year-Old Grudge From Tuition Centre’, Apprehended

Three years ago, a 14-year-old boy got into a heated argument with an 11-year-old girl at his tuition centre, after the teacher scolded him because of her.

Meanwhile, the girl’s family alleged that the juvenile was misleading police by cooking up a story of revenge. “He and two of his associates were planning to kidnap her, but they killed her,” a relative alleged.
