The victim, a resident of a village under the Govindpur Police Station limits, remained silent about the assault for two days out of fear. His family said he informed them only after the pain became unbearable and his condition deteriorated. His relatives then rushed to the school, took him to hospital for treatment and subsequently approached the police.
The student is currently undergoing treatment at Shahid Nirmal Mahato Medical College and Hospital in Dhanbad. Police have registered a case and launched an investigation into the assault, criminal intimidation and the circulation of the video online. Ends
