The victim, identified as Gagandeep Singh Kohli, had reportedly slapped the student earlier this week. On Wednesday, when Kohli was leaving the classroom after the mid-morning break, the student pulled out the firearm and shot him from behind.
The bullet entered through the teacher’s back and got lodged in his neck. He was immediately rushed to a private hospital, where doctors performed emergency surgery.
