After regaining consciousness, the victim disclosed the name of one of the assailants, providing a crucial lead. Acting on local inputs and surveillance, police conducted raids and tracked down the suspects.
Subsequently, three juveniles were apprehended and, during interrogation, they confessed to their involvement in the crime, police said.
The accused disclosed that they knew the victim and had a prior altercation over a trivial issue, which escalated into bitter enmity. Nursing a grudge, they conspired to attack him and stabbed the boy after intercepting him on the day of the incident.
Police said one of the apprehended juveniles had recently been released on bail in a murder case registered last year at the same police station.
The weapon of offence, a knife, was recovered at the instance of the accused.
