Faridabad horror: Teacher stabbed 34 times in 30 seconds by stalker; accused arrested

Faridabad: A shocking incident unfolded at a private school in Haryana’s Faridabad district when a 29-year-old teacher was allegedly stabbed to death by her stalker who had come to the campus asking to meet her with his head, face and shoulders completely covered with a white cloth. In a swift investigation by the police the man named Amit was arrested within a few hours of the horrific murder.

The victim, identified as Sandhya, was employed at a private school in Sikrona village, located close to a police outpost. According to school authorities, the accused arrived at the school premises on Wednesday morning and requested to speak with the teacher.

After being informed about the visitor, Sandhya reportedly stepped out to meet him. Moments later, the man allegedly launched a brutal knife attack, inflicting multiple injuries on her face, neck and chest. The assault took place in full view of security cameras installed on the school premises.

CCTV footage reportedly captured the accused entering the school and waiting inside the lobby area with his head, face and shoulders completely covered with a white cloth. As soon as Sandhya appeared, he gestured for her to come outside. The footage allegedly shows the attacker grabbing her by the neck and dragging her out before repeatedly stabbing her. Even after she collapsed to the ground, the assault continued.

According to NDTV, school staff members rushed to the spot after hearing screams. The school administrator, who attempted to intervene, said the attacker threatened him as well when he tried to stop the assault.

According to the administrator, the assailant briefly turned his attention toward him while brandishing the knife. Before anyone could overpower him, the accused allegedly attacked the victim again and then fled from the scene on a motorcycle that reportedly did not have a registration number plate.

The administrator later told the media that he had been in his office when he heard cries for help from the corridor around 9:30 a.m. When he reached the location, he found the teacher lying injured on the ground while the attacker was still assaulting her.

Following the incident, Sandhya was immediately rushed to Al Falah Hospital. However, doctors declared her dead upon arrival.

Police launched a swift investigation and arrested the accused, identified as 21-year-old Amit, a resident of Kot village, within two hours of the crime. Officials said the suspect later confessed to his involvement during questioning.

Preliminary investigations suggest that Amit had known the victim for nearly two years and had allegedly attempted to contact her on multiple occasions. Police said Sandhya was not interested in communicating with him, but he continued to pursue her despite her objections.

Investigators further revealed that the teacher had recently lodged a molestation complaint against the accused. Sources said Amit had publicly apologised following that complaint. Police suspect that the murder may have been motivated by a desire for revenge linked to the earlier incident.

Further investigation is underway to establish the complete sequence of events and gather additional evidence in the case.
