The accused, Amit, was arrested soon afterwards. A probe remains underway A Faridabad teacher was dragged out of her classroom, and stabbed over 20 times, leading to her death A devastating scene unfolded before the students of Saraswati Senior Secondary School in Faridabad’s Sikrona on Monday when their beloved teacher was dragged out of her classroom and stabbed at least 20 times, leading to her death. The traumatising memory now remains etched in their memory forever. Sandhya, 29, was born in Dabua in Haryana’s Faridabad.

Seven years ago, she tied the knot with Vikas ‘Vicky’ Karhaja, and moved to nearby Sikrona with him. She worked as a teacher at several private schools before joining Saraswati Senior Secondary School, according to the Indian Express. How Incident Unfolded On Monday morning, August 3, Sandhya arrived at the school to teach her students –– something she had always loved to do –– knowing little that this would be the last time. Amit from neighbouring Kot village entered the school around 9:40 AM, dragged her out of her classroom and stabbed her to death before fleeing the crime scene. According to the deceased’s family, the accused was a former student in a school in Kot, where she used to teach earlier. Sandhya had allegedly rejected his advances and stopped talking to him, reports the Indian Express, citing her family.

According to Vikas, Amit began following Sandhya after she rejected his proposal and stopped speaking to him. “His relatives came with folded hands asking us not to pursue the case. They promised they would handle the boy, so we let it be," he said. However, the matter was far from over. Three months later, Sandhya’s family approached Amit’s relatives after he resumed following and harassing her. “This time, I went to his place. His family repeated the same assurances and again, we did not pursue the matter," Vikas said. However, his cousin Pawan Kumar said that Amit had crossed a line a month ago, when he allegedly threatened to kill Vikas. “He said, ‘If she can’t be mine, I won’t let her be yours too’. His elder brother Ravi knew about all this but did nothing. After the murder, the family calmly let him return home.
