A 16-year-old student stabbed a 17-year-old in Kurla East on Monday night apparently over an online mobile game PUBG. However, the police have ruled out the PUBG angle saying, investigations so far haven't revealed any such details.
The 17-year-old who was stabbed and who was admitted in serious condition in Sion Hospital, is reportedly out of danger now. The cops have filed a case of attempt to murder against two minors.

On March 11, around 10.30pm, two brothers living in Chunabhatti had called the 17-year-old to Shivaji Ground in Nehru Nagar, Kurla East to settle some differences. When the teen, a resident of Qureshi Nagar, Kurla, had gone to meet them, a scuffle broke out. One of the brothers, a 16-year-old, stabbed the 17-year-old in the scuffle. The attack was so severe that the 17-year-old's intestines spilled out. A friend he had brought along got stabbed, too.
