The fight began when one group of students saw a girl from their village hugging a male student from the other village, on Thursday. The affectionate student was threatened by the group and not allowed on the bus. The student who was threatened on Thursday, decided to return the favor and brought his friends to confront the first group on Saturday, and the rumble began. Weapons were pulled out, and one of the students stabbed another, killing him. The dead student was identified as Mahran Khaliliya.
