The Story in Brief
A Class 10 student at Sri Chaitanya High School in Dammaiguda, Telangana, is hospitalised after his parents alleged that 12 fellow students attacked him inside the hostel at night. Their complaint says the students beat Abhishek with sticks and plates and stomped on his face with boots. India Today reports that the family first received a call from the school saying he had fallen down the stairs.
The parents took him home, but admitted him to hospital after his condition worsened. They said he later told them the injuries followed an alleged ragging assault, not a fall. The family has approached Jawahar Nagar police and accused the school management of concealing the incident. Abhishek remains under treatment, and the parents want action against the students and school officials.
The Indian Opinion
Claims of hostel ragging can quickly produce two lazy narratives: that teenagers are simply roughing each other up, or that the school is guilty before an investigation. Neither is acceptable. A student’s account, medical records, witness statements and the school’s first communication to the family should establish what happened. The key test is whether police identify all 12 alleged attackers and examine why the family was initially told about a staircase fall.
