Faridabad is in mourning after a horrific attack claimed the life of a 17-year-old Class 11 student in a bustling market on Friday. The young victim, identified as Sameer Khan, was brutally assaulted by a group of ten men armed with sticks and knives. According to police, the attackers stabbed him 14 times before fleeing the scene, leaving behind a community devastated by the senseless act of violence.

Eyewitnesses described the shocking incident as occurring in broad daylight in the crowded sector 12 market. Despite the presence of onlookers, the attackers showed no hesitation as they carried out the assault. Many nearby rushed to save the boy, but the injuries proved too severe. Sameer was taken to a nearby hospital but succumbed to his wounds shortly after arrival.

The victim’s family, inconsolable in their grief, described Sameer as a kind and ambitious young man who had dreams of becoming an engineer. "He was our pride," his father tearfully said. "I still cannot believe he is gone."

The incident has sparked outrage and fear among Faridabad residents, who are demanding swift justice and increased safety measures in public areas.
