A day after the alleged stabbing of a class 10 student by his classmate sparked communal tensions in Udaipur, the city municipal corporation Saturday demolished the house that the 15-year-old accused and his family were renting – on the ground that it “encroached” on forest land.
According to the police, the forest department had issued the family a notice on Saturday morning. “The owner was not able to provide any form of ownership document, after which the house was demolished,” Inspector General, Udaipur range, Ajay Lamba told The Indian Express, adding that the boy and his father have been detained and that “action will be taken according to the Juvenile Justice Act”.
