According to police, the teacher, M Ramani, was attacked near the staff room allegedly by P Madhan, who had been agitated after she rejected his marriage proposal, citing her family’s disapproval.
Armed with a knife, he confronted her at the school, and allegedly stabbed her in the neck and stomach before attempting to flee. Ramani was declared dead on arrival at a nearby hospital. Madhan was later arrested and is now in judicial custody.
Ramani was a temporary Tamil teacher appointed in June.
