Tensions erupt in Udaipur after student stabbed in school, vehicles torched

Communal tensions gripped the Madhuban area of Rajasthan's Udaipur on Friday after a Class 10 student was stabbed by a fellow student at a government-run school, officials said. The accused student was subsequently detained by the police.

Soon after the stabbing incident, members of several Hindu right wing outfits gathered in the Madhuban area and set fire to at least three cars parked in a garage and indulged in stone pelting.

The city is on high alert amid the heightened tensions between two communities, officials said. In response to the escalating situation, prohibitory actions under Section 144 were also imposed, restricting large gatherings in the city.
