Kusum, a resident of Charkhi Dadri, was also a teacher at the same institute.

"When Prashant reached near Yakubpur, four miscreants who came on two bikes stopped him and pointed weapons at Prashant. After this, Kusum panicked and ran to the other side of the road. Prashant died on the spot," a police officer said.

An FIR had been registered and the police were looking for the attackers.

The police said it appeared to be a case of old enmity.
