Haryana student stabbed to death in Australia’s Melbourne over student rivalry

A 22-year-old MTech student, Navjeet Sandhu, from Karnal was stabbed to death Sunday in Melbourne. He had moved to Australia on a study visa in Nov 2022.

The murder has been linked to student rivalry and two brothers from Haryana have been accused of the murder. Both are absconding. “I received a call at around 2 am on Sunday from Navjeet’s friends. They told us that he had been killed. We had spoken to him on Saturday…,” said his uncle in Karnal. Navjeet’s father, Jitender Sandhu, a farmer, said, “One Sharvan Kumar had a fight with his roommates so he left his room and went to Navjeet’s flat. The angry roommates called up Sharvan at night asking him to remove his stuff from the room. Sharvan asked Navjeet to accompany him. On reaching the place, Sharvan’s roommates attacked him with knives. They attacked Navjeet and stabbed him thrice in the chest.
