**Headline:** Class 12 Student Assaulted by Classmates in Junagadh Hostel After Kabaddi Match Incident
In a troubling incident in Gujarat’s Junagadh, a Class 12 student was assaulted by four of his classmates inside their hostel room. This violent episode occurred on July 27, just a day after a confrontation during a kabaddi match on July 26. The assault was recorded by one of the students and subsequently circulated among peers.
According to the victim’s complaint, all individuals involved were residents of the same hostel. Following the attack, the frightened student informed hostel authorities that he was feeling unwell and left the premises with his father. The victim’s family has accused the school management of attempting to cover up the incident. Nearly a month later, after learning more about the situation, the victim’s father approached the police and provided the video evidence.
Police officer Hitesh Dhandhalia confirmed that a case has been registered under the Juvenile Justice Act against the four students involved, and the role of the school management is currently under investigation. “On July 26, during the kabaddi match, some words were exchanged, leading to the assault on July 27. Based on the viral video, we have initiated legal action,” the officer stated.
The victim’s father, Vimal Choncha, expressed his frustration, saying, “This is my son. I live in Upleta. Last month, my son was beaten in the hostel by some boys. I found out through Instagram. The school management did not inform us and tried to hide it. When I attempted to meet them, they refused to engage with me or take my calls.”
The victim’s uncle, Ranabhai, added, “We only learned about this incident two days ago. The school was aware the next day but sent the boys who assaulted him back home without notifying us. If something had happened to our child, who would have been responsible? Such schools should be shut down. Recently, in Ahmedabad, parents lost their son in a similar incident. Even if justice is served now, what good will it do? The school management is accountable, and such institutions should lose their recognition.”
This incident has surfaced shortly after another alarming case in Vadodara, where a student was fatally attacked by a peer with a knife, intensifying concerns regarding the safety of children in educational environments.
