Juvenile court convicts two for 2016 stabbing murder in Surat
10 years later, two convicted for 18-year-old man’s murder in Surat · indianexpress.com

Many years ago, in a city called Surat, a young man named Babu got into a small argument with four teenagers.

The argument happened at a place called Sant Tukaram Society.

Later that same day, the teenagers hurt Babu with a knife.

Sadly, Babu died because of his chest injury.

Babu's father, Rajpal, tried to help his son and was also hurt.

All four teenagers were arrested for the murder.

Since they were all under 18 at the time, a special children's court heard the case.

The court found two of them guilty and sent them to a special home for three years.

The other two teenagers were allowed to go free.

Still, the court called them 'criminals.'
