Boy beheaded over school tiff in India - People's Daily Online May 12, 2010
A 15-year-old boy was beheaded allegedly by three of his classmates who hanged the body on a tree on the bank of the Mutha river in the city of Pune, Maharashtra in western India, said police Tuesday.
According to his parents, Abhishek Ghorpade left home on May 5 on the pretext of going out to buy a cake for a birthday party of one of his friends.
Three of his friends who are believed to have nursed enmity with him, allegedly took Abhishek and chopped off his head with a sickle, threw it in the river and left the scene after hanging the body.
The incident came to light when some boys who had gone to play cricket saw the body of Abhishek hanging by a rope.
The police said that the boy had a quarrel with the suspects in school a few days back and the tiff apparently led to the crime.
After waiting for two days, the parents lodged a complaint with the police who have detained three minor boys in connection with the murder.
One of his classmates who has confessed to the crime has been arrested, said police.
