A class X student was arrested on charges of carrying a pistol to his school in Farrukhnagar, about 30 km from Gurgaon.

"We got a call from an anonymous caller who told us that the 17-year-old student of Dhanker Senior Secondary School was carrying a gun to the school. We immediately rushed to the school and carried a raid. The informer told us that the boy was proudly showing off the countrymade pistol to his friends in the classroom. After reaching there, we recovered the gun from his possession and arrested him,'' said Deepak Saharan, assistant commissioner of police (ACP), Farrukhnagar.

Senior cops said that the boy is from Cherra Khurrampur village near Farrukhnagar. "His father is no more and he lives with his mother and two sisters,'' added Saharan

Police Commissioner S S Deswal said that during questioning the accused said that one Vijender, one of his friends in village, gave him the pistol. "We are still looking for Vijender. A case under Arms Act has been lodged against the boy at Farrukhnagar police station,'' Deswal said.

Principal Rajbeer Dhankad said that the school frisks students everyday on school premises. "But at times some students arrive late and that is why they enter classrooms unchecked,'' he said, adding that prior to this episode, no disciplinary complaint was received against the accused.

Guns in Gurgaon schools have been reported in past too. In 2007, two 14-year-olds shot dead a classmate in a high-profile school, apparently because he had bullied them several times, police said.

The local police and appropriate authorities must take thismatter seriously and must
take action.

How come local police knew that out of at least 300 boys, this particular boy has a weapon with him,
Doubts some insider trying to play little CID

did the police commissioner think that why only in "delhi/gurgaon/noida" do students carry guns or shoot their fellow students???
there has to be a reason behind this...
and what serious action are you gonna take against these kids??? 3rd degree or life imprisonment ??? or encounter at last???
these police never try to go to the roots...coz their chai-pani will be stopped...

Indian police are just name sake ...narcotics and crime branch are exceptions
they couldn't even find the other accused ...
i pity them and the guy who wants serious action to be taken on that kid

The police commissioner did not say that only school kids around Delhi and Noida carry guns or shoot their fellow students.If you cut through the rhetoric, there is a procedure established by law and that will be followed at least until other variables factor in. A fatherless boy with a mother and two sisters.All in all an entire family is affected because there was no one to tell this boy not to do foolish things.

It is not the sole responsibility of Police to eradicate social evils.The policy makers, other governmental organs and civil society like us the common citizens have equal share.State of Policing is only symptomatic of the society at large.

That boy needs serious attention than serious action against him.

Agree with Vikram this kid should be warned slapped on the wrist whatever rather than locking him away in Jail later will ensure entry into Criminal world.

"The informer told us that the boy was proudly showing off the countrymade pistol to his friends in the classroom"

Another proof that its so easy to get a illegal gun in INDIA that even kids are carrying to school but whenit comes to legal guns its different matter altogether...

Everybody is overreacting...the kid is a juvi and should be treated as one unless he had a motive.
The kid needs some counseling and should be put under watch....no more

....And proper education on handling / mishandling of firearms.
