Schoolboy shot dead by classmates in India

Two teenage Indian boys have been remanded in custody accused of killing their classmate at a school near Delhi.

Police say the boys took turns to fire shots at 14-year-old Abhishek Tyagi at the privately-run Euro International school in the suburb of Gurgaon.



Police also want to talk to the parents of the boys but have so far been unable to contact them, reports say.

Incidents of gun crime at schools and colleges in India are very rare. It is not clear what prompted the shooting.
