Bhargav has been arrested. He is an adult, the police have clarified, and are in the process of conducting a blood test to confirm he was drunk.
"The incident happened this afternoon. Security didn't allow the students to barge into the college late. The security guard stopped the students at the gate. One of the students went, bought a knife, and stabbed the security guard," an indiatoday.in report quoted DCP North East as saying.
We have arrested the student and are investigating further to determine if there was any old rivalry between them, the DCP said.
He added that blood sample will be collected to confirm if the accused student was in an inebriated state when he stabbed the security guard.
