Berhampur: A class IX student was critically injured after a classmate allegedly stabbed him with a knife at a govt-aided school in Ganjam district on Friday.
The incident took place at 9.30 am when no teacher was present in the class. Some school staffers rushed the 14-year-old boy to a hospital in Sheragada and shifted him to MKCG Medical College and Hospital here.
His condition was stable, sources said. District education officer (DEO) Amita Pattnaik asked the block education officer (BEO) of Sanakhemundi to inquire into the incident. Police detained the accused and recovered the knife.
