The assailant, reportedly from the same village, fled after committing the crime. The deceased has been identified as Tanishk from Kurana village in the district.
According to available information, the deceased was studying at an ITI in Naultha village.

The body was handed over to the victim’s family after the postmortem examination, he said.
“Prima facie, no concrete or serious enmity has come to the fore between them so far, but some altercation had occurred between them,” he said. However, the actual reason behind the murder will be known only after the arrest of the accused, he added.
