Reports suggest that the victim, a dedicated student travelling daily to her coaching class, was attacked by a jilted lover as she made her way to the institute. The intermediate student was taken to the sub-divisional hospital after the incident where the doctors declared her dead.
The chilling video footage reveals a youth closely following the girl in a narrow lane before launching a fatal attack. Despite the victim attempting to flee, the assailant shot her point-blank in the head, causing her to collapse.
