Noida: Two class XI students of Delhi Public School
(DPS) have been admitted to a hospital due to injuries to their limbs and
torso.
There are contradictory reports on how the students of
the DPS Noida branch sustained the injuries. The family of one of the students
has claimed that the boys were being ragged by their seniors. The Noida Police
have, however, filed a case pertaining to a scuffle between the students.
“Based on the complaint filed by the student and his family, we have
filed an FIR under IPC sections relating to a scuffle,” a police officer said.
The police said the incident happened on Monday night when Yashpratap Singh,
15, was coming back to his hostel after having dinner.
Singh’s father Arjun said it was not the first time that Yashpratap had
been ragged. “On May 5, a group of seniors had bullied him. They asked him to
imitate animals and stand in various postures. His blood pressure shot up and
his heart started to beat fast. He was admitted to Max Hospital in Noida after
initial treatment at school health centre. He came back to the hostel only on
Sunday,” Arjun Singh said. He added that Yashpratap was roughed up by a group
of around 15 students on Monday night.
“Another Class XI student, Dhruv, tried to intervene but he also got
beaten up. Yashpratap called his mother and told her about the incident. We
rushed to the school but could not find him. The hostel warden refused to tell
us where he was. Later, a security guard told us that an ambulance from Kailash
Hospital had come to take two students. I figured my son was one of them,” the
father stated.
According to doctors, the students had blunt injury marks on their
upper arm, shoulders, knees and legs. The boys were later discharged as they
did not have any major injuries.
