Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) [India], February 24 (ANI): A 22-year-old B.Tech student of Rajadhani Institute of Engineering & Technology, Nagaroor, was stabbed to death near his college in Thiruvananthapuram, as per the Kerala police.

Preliminary investigations suggest that an altercation between the two students may have led to the attack.
The victim was a final-year engineering student.
The accused, T. Lamsang Swal (23), a third-year B.Tech Civil Engineering student from the same college allegedly stabbed him due to a long-standing personal dispute.

A heated argument escalated into a physical altercation, the accused called Valentine to Nedumparambu Junction, where he fatally stabbed him in the chest with a knife, said police.
