Police Say Faridabad Teacher's Killer Planned Murder for Two Months
A teacher named Sandhya Sharma worked at a school in Faridabad, India.
A young man named Amit had feelings for her, but she did not feel the same way.
Earlier, Sandhya had complained to the police that Amit behaved badly toward her, and he apologised.
Police say Amit was angry because she changed her school and moved to a new home.
He planned his attack for almost two months and even bought a knife just for it.
One morning, he went to her school and called her out of her classroom.
When she came out, he hurt her many times with the knife, and she died right there.
The attack was caught on the school's cameras, and police caught Amit within two hours.
Now a court has sent him to police custody while the investigation continues.
Amit, 21, allegedly stabbed teacher Sandhya Sharma, 28, more than 27 times in the neck and chest at a private school in Sikrona village, Faridabad, killing her on the spot on Monday.
Police said Amit planned the murder nearly two months in advance and bought the knife specially for the crime.
Police said Amit had unreciprocated feelings for Sharma, who had earlier lodged a molestation complaint against him, and that he resented her after she changed her school and residence.
The attack was captured on the school's CCTV cameras and a video of the incident went viral; police arrested Amit within two hours and seized the murder weapon.
Sharma's husband, Vicky Gurjar, said stricter police action after the earlier molestation complaint could have prevented the murder.
