Ahmedabad schoolboy murder case: Principal, teachers booked for criminal negligence
On August 19, 2024, 15-year-old Nayan Santani was murdered by a Class 8 student outside their ICSE school in Ahmedabad after a long-running conflict.
The accused admitted to the stabbing over Instagram messages.
Though Nayan was rushed for surgery, he sadly passed away early on August 20, 2024 from severe blood loss.
Protests erupt over death; MLA urges people to maintain peace
Police found that school staff waited nearly 30 minutes before calling an ambulance, choosing to clean up first instead of helping Nayan immediately.
This led to criminal negligence charges against the principal and two teachers.
The incident triggered large protests—some turning violent—with over 500 people booked for vandalism.
Local MLA Amul Bhatt urged everyone to keep protests peaceful, saying that maintaining law and order is essential for justice.
