They are receiving treatment at a private hospital.
The two boys had a quarrel recently over sharing a pencil and they were not on talking terms for sometime.
On Tuesday, one of them brought the weapon “hid inside his school bag,” and attacked the other, he said, adding, the former would be handed over to the child welfare committee as per legal procedures.
Relatives of the victim expressed concern over a class 8 student bringing a sickle to the school with a ‘motive’ to carry out the attack. PTI CORR SA
