A girl was allegedly attacked with a blade by a group of teenage girls in Delhi’s Rohini following a school rivalry. She has suffered injuries on her face and back in the attack, reported PTI. In the video of the incident, the girl can be seen being attacked by four girls, friends of two sisters — one of whom had a prior altercation with her, according the police.
The incident occurred on September 9 at Amar Vihar area of Sector 20, Rohini.
According to police, the 16-year-old accused carried out the attack while three other girls, aged between 14 and 15, slapped the victim.
In the video, it can be seen that the girl first slapped her and then one of them slashed her face and back with a blade, leaving her injured, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Rohini) Rajeev Ranjan said.
“The victim was taken to a hospital, where doctors declared her unfit for giving a statement on the day of the incident and kept her medico-legal case report pending,” the officer told news agency PTI.
Preliminary enquiry revealed that the accused girls are friends of another minor, a student from the victim’s school. The attackers, aged between 14 and 16 years, were friends of a girl, a student of the victim’s school. They themselves study in another school where the other sister is enrolled, the officer added.
“A preliminary investigation has found that the victim had an altercation with one of the sisters, who studies in her school, on September 4. To take revenge, the two sisters, along with their friends, conspired and carried out the attack,” the DCP said.
The police said that the assault was a revenge act, following an altercation between the victim and another minor girl on September 4 and was pre-planned. The attack was allegedly planned by this girl with the one who assaulted the victim, they said.
