“Around two months ago, Malik had scolded Jagmal for disturbing the class by talking to a girl. Jagmal had fought back, asking the teacher what was his problem if he was talking to his female friend. Due to Jagmal’s rude behavior, Malik complained to both his and the girl’s parents about them talking and disturbing the class,” said inspector Indivar Singh, who headed the CIA team that nabbed Jagmal within 36 hours.

The Inspector also said that the girl started to avoid Jagmal after Malik complained to her parents.
