Pune, February 24 A Class 12 student was injured after being attacked with a sharp object by three youths outside a college in Pune city on Tuesday, shortly after he left the examination center, police said on Tuesday.
The student, identified as Shankar Mirgane, was hit on the head with a 'koyta' (billhook) and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, they said.
The incident took place outside Mamasaheb Mohol College in the Kothrud area when the victim came out after writing his exam, a police official said.
"Shortly after he left the college premises, he was attacked and hit on the head with a koyta. During the investigation, it came to light that the suspects and the injured were in the same school in Class 10 and had a quarrel over a girl. Our investigation indicates that the attack stemmed from that old dispute," he said.
All three suspects are minors and have been identified. One of them has been detained, while a search is on for the remaining two, he added.
