The report, originally published by Lautechportal.com and Lautechamebo.com, was later stated to be false. After facing major backlash from students for the flase news, the two campus blogs retracted the story and made a public apology. They said 'none of the students [mentioned] was stabbed' and that the case had been settled at the Students' Affairs.
