A second year BA student shot dead his English lecturer in front of the latter’s daughter at a government college in Sonepat in Haryana on Tuesday, in the second incident of a student attacking a faculty member this year. In January, an expelled Class 12 student shot dead his principal in Yamuna Nagar, also in Haryana. Malik, who was shot four times, was rushed to hospital by staff members, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. A clerk at the college, Jyoti Devi, witnessed the incident and claimed Malik scolded Singh some time ago for harassing a girl in the class, according to the police. Singh may have been instigated into committing the murder by an assistant professor at the college who recently fought with Malik, the police claimed.
