The Story in Brief
A Class IX student of Swami Atmanand School in Raipur was allegedly assaulted by fellow students who brought outsiders to attack him, according to a complaint. The victim’s family said school authorities took no action after they complained, forcing the student to obtain a transfer certificate. The assault was recorded and posted as a social media reel, reportedly featuring a dialogue from the film *Tirangaa*: “Hum don hain, maa vakil hai, judge se setting hai.”
The complainant also alleged that the mother of the accused student created a scene at the police station backed by some lawyers. Purani Basti police said they registered bailable offences against both parties under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Police noted the video was deleted shortly after it was posted. The students had argued over a disciplinary issue.
The Indian Opinion
This story triggers two tired narratives: that school authorities always look the other way, and that police hush up cases if a lawyer or mother shows up. Here, police actually registered bailable offences against both sides, not just the accused. That suggests they see a mutual fight, not a one-sided attack. The real test will be whether the school reviews its safety protocols and whether the viral threat line, “judge se setting hai”, prompts Chhattisgarh’s education department to inspect other government schools for similar complacency.
