The 'Capital Police Information Center' announced on Thursday, February 25, that the identity of the student was Amir Mohammad Khalighi, 19 years old, who was attacked at 9 PM on Wednesday while returning to the dormitory in the Amirabad area. According to the report, surveillance camera footage shows that the thieves stabbed this young man while stealing his backpack, and he was killed due to the knife wound 'to the respiratory tract.' According to Mehr News Agency, this young man was transferred to Shariati Hospital in Tehran and died at 7:30 AM on Thursday. Tehran police have promised to form a 'special team' to identify and arrest the perpetrators of this incident. Some students at the University of Tehran have expressed their concerns on social media regarding the lack of necessary measures to ensure the safety of students living in dormitories, reminding that they had repeatedly warned about the emptiness and insecurity of the area behind the university campus. The University of Tehran introduced Amir Mohammad Khalighi as an undergraduate student in business at the Faculty of Management and added that this incident occurred 'outside the university environment' and within the Gisha Bridge area. Several social media users have pointed out that the murder of this student occurred during hours when security forces were attempting to arrest those who had called for a gathering on Thursday in front of the University of Tehran.
