Police sources said that they suspect that the boy was killed as he was friendly with a girl studying PU in a neighbouring college. They said they are questioning Harsha's classmates and some boys from a few schools in the vicinity.

It is said that Harsha had been warned by some boys against being friends with the girl. They said there was a skirmish earlier in the day about the matter.

Police quoting witnesses said 10-12 boys were seen fighting with each other on a road behind the railway track around 2.30pm. The railway track is just behind the government school.

People did not take the fighting serious as schoolboys fighting each other in the area and near the railway track was common.

Someone alerted a traffic policeman manning vehicles near the junction when other boys ran away leaving Harsha on the road fallen down. With others' help, the policeman shifted the injured boy to Government Hospital on the next road where he was declared brought dead.

Some students said that Harsha and other boys skipped a cultural programme at school to come near the railway track.

Later reports said that two boys have been already arrested by police relating to the stabbing.
