In the quiet town of Baripada, a disturbing incident has come to light. A student in Class XI of Basipitha SSD High School, a government educational institution in Odisha's Mayurbhanj district, was allegedly assaulted by his seniors in the school hostel. According to the police, this unfortunate event occurred in the month of February.

The victim's father, Manoranjan Behera, from Bhugudakata village, reported the incident to the Khunta police station. In his complaint, he stated that his son had been subjected to physical violence by senior students. The reason for this brutal attack? His son had witnessed them consuming alcohol. The father went on to explain that the perpetrators used an iron rod and a blade to harm his son, causing him to bleed profusely.

To make matters worse, the seniors also threatened the victim, warning him not to reveal the incident to anyone, or they would kill him. This detail was also mentioned in the FIR filed by the police, as shared by the inspector-in-charge of Khunta police station, Panchanan Mohanty. When the victim's father approached the headmaster of the school, he was informed that the senior students involved in the attack had been reprimanded by the school.

The police have taken swift action and registered a case against the senior students responsible for the assault. Such incidents are deeply concerning and must not be tolerated. The safety and well-being of students should always be a top priority, and it is the responsibility of the school and its staff to ensure a safe and secure environment for all students. Let us hope that justice is served and steps are taken to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
