New Delhi: An Class VIII student of a boarding school in Gurgaon shot his classmate dead in the school premises on Tuesday. Police have identified the victim as 13-year-old Abhishek Tyagi, a student of Euro International School in Gurgaons Sector 45, and the son of a city-based property dealer. Police say the cause of the shooting was enmity between Tyagi and two of his classmates, Vikas and Aakash. The two were later sent to 14 days in judicial custody by a local court. They will be lodged at a juvenile home in Faridabad. Aakash reportedly fired five bullets at Tyagi from a close range after a fight broke out between the three students. Tyagi, who received four shots in all, including one in the temple and two on his chest from a close range, died on the way to hospital. No one else was injured in the shooting in the school in this prosperous satellite town of Delhi. Manoj Tyagi, a friend of Abhishek's father Rajinder Tyagi, told police that Abhishek had some differences with some of his colleagues a few days ago but the dispute between them had been resolved. Both Aakash and Vikas have been detained. According to Gurgaon Police Commissioner Mahender Lal, Vikas has told the police Tyagi had been harassing him Aakash, for a long time. Lal says the gun belonged to Akashs father, also a property dealer. The police now say that there is a possibility that the parents of the accused could be arrested. Gurgaon DCP Satish Balan told CNN-IBN Aakash brought his fathers pistol to the school and police are investigating how he did that. Euro International School is one of the affluent schools of Gurgaon. Located in Sector 45, the school's website claims it has CCTV cameras installed in all classrooms. This is the second such incident reported this year. In April 2007, fight for supremacy between student groups took an ugly turn when a junior student shot at his senior on the premises of Deccan Engineering College at Darussalam in Hyderabad. Mukarram Ali Siddiqui, third year engineering student, sustained five bullet wounds in the incident - the first-ever on any college premises in Hyderabad. The revolver was a licensed weapon and owned by father of the accused student . More recently, on Nov 29, 2007, 21-year-old student of Dronacharya Engineering College in Gurgaon was killed when a friend inadvertently fired a loaded gun at him.

yea... tru ... those movies were well made and left an impact... but i guess what happened in ISM wasnt anything of this type... i have no clue whose done it.... if its the omanis we reali cant do anything about it . its a purely racism case.... if its some student frm ism.. then its a disgrace... and to a small extent id blame the school.... its not just ISM all the schools have failed to create a good communication link between the staff and students...so many of us hate so many teachers.... i wont name anyone.. but such hatred finally leads the ones with guts and displeasure and keeda to go ahead with such stuff.. this is only if it is an ISM student..
