India: A Class X student was shot dead, and two others were injured, in Bihar’s Rohtas district after two groups of students clashed over allegations of cheating during a matriculation exam.

The argument began Wednesday as a physical confrontation and was picked up again the following day, which was when gunshots were fired. A total of three students were injured.

According to reports, one student has been injured in his leg and another in his back.

Local police have taken custody of the body and launched an investigation.
