Gujarat Hostel Assault Video | School Students Assaulted In Gujarat Hostel, Video Goes Viral
Two students of a private school were allegedly brutally assaulted by their hostel mates in separate incidents in Gujarat's Junagadh city last month, sparking concerns of safety and well-being of students across educational institutes. The assaults come close on the heels of the murder of a student at a private Ahmedabad school that triggered massive protests. The latest incidents further raise concerns over the need to continuously scrutinise the behaviour of students on campuses. According to sources and parents of the victims, the incidents were not reported by either the students nor the hostel authorities but came to light only after purported videos of the assaults were widely circulated and surfaced on social media on September 2. The parents of the two victims alleged a cover-up by the school authorities even as the hostel management claimed they are yet to receive a complaint on the matter. Four students have so far been charged under the Juvenile Justice Act.
