New Delhi, Dec 11: An Class VIII student of a boarding school in Gurgaon shot his classmate dead in the school premises on Tuesday.

Police have identified the victim as 13-year-old Abhishek Tyagi, a student of Euro International School in Gurgaon's Sector 45, and the son of a city-based property dealer.

Police say the cause of the shooting was enmity between Tyagi and two of his classmates, Vikas and Aakash.

Aakash reportedly fired five bullets at Tyagi from a close range after a fight broke out between the three students. Tyagi, who received four shots in all, including one in the temple and two on his chest from a close range, died on the way to hospital.

No one else was injured in the shooting in the school in this prosperous satellite town of Delhi.

Manoj Tyagi, a friend of Abhishek's father Rajinder Tyagi, told police that Abhishek had some differences with some of his colleagues a few days ago but the dispute between them had been resolved. Both Aakash and Vikas have been detained.

According to Gurgaon Police Commissioner Mahender Lal, Vikas has told the police Tyagi had been harassing him Aakash, for a long time.

Lal says the gun belonged to Akash's father, also a property dealer. The police now say that there is a possibility that the parents of the accused could be arrested.

Gurgaon DCP Satish Balan told CNN-IBN Aakash brought his father's pistol to the school and police are investigating how he did that.

Euro International School is one of the affluent schools of Gurgaon. Located in Sector 45, the school's website claims it has CCTV cameras installed in all classrooms.
