The accused, reportedly, had a record of warnings against indiscipline. Hansi Superintendent of Police Amit Yashvardhan said, “The students were asked to get their hair trimmed and tuck in their shirts. The exact reason behind the incident will be known once we apprehend them”. However, the police said that, “a postmortem of the body will confirm all details. They may be influenced by a gang.”

The police also revealed that the students approached the principal in the office and requested him to step outside. This came after they had just appeared for a unit test. Leading him to a known location with no CCTV camera coverage, one of the allegedly accused pulled out a knife and stabbed the principal repeatedly.
