New Delhi: An unruly mob barged into the premises of a girls’ residential school in Bihar’s Triveniganj and beat the students there, injuring 34 of them. The injured have been shifted to hospital for treatment.
The girls had earlier reportedly resisted the attempts by some local boys to harass them.
A group of students found some local boys sneaking into the campus. One of the boys was allegedly writing a lewd comment on the hostel wall. The boys allegedly misbehaved on being asked to leave, NDTV reported. In self-defence, the girls thrashed the boys, according to eyewitnesses.
Later, the boys returned with their parents and relatives. They barged into the residential school, police said. The mob, including the parents of the boys, surrounded the campus. The girls were thrashed by the mob, despite being requested to retreat. They were beaten up with sticks by over two dozen people.
Nine people have been named in an FIR while two main accused Hari and Mohan have been arrested.
BJP MLA from Chhatapur, Supaul met the girls in the school who were thrashed by an unruly mob and accused the local administration of a lacklustre approach. “All officers become RJD-minded once they are transferred here,” he said and promised to raise the matter with CM Nitish Kumar.
SP Mrityunjay Chaudhary told News18 that several officers and a magistrate have been deployed at the school premises to prevent any untoward incidents.

New Delhi (PTI): Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Monday took a swipe at the "failed" US-Iran peace talks in Pakistan with an Urdu couplet, saying only god knows now what will happen.
"Ab kya hoga, ye rab jane; Na woh mane, na ye mane (only god knows what will happen now as both sides did not agree)," Tharoor said on X, tagging a post-talks video clip of US Vice President J D Vance, who led the American delegation at the negotiations in Islamabad.
The United States and Iran failed to reach a peace deal at their historic 21-hour talks in Pakistan, leaving the fate of a tenuous two-week ceasefire in doubt, with both sides attempting to hold each other responsible for the collapse of the negotiations.
अब क्या होगा, ये रब जाने

Vance said the Iranian side did not accept Washington's terms for ending the war even as the US presented its "final and best offer".
Hours after the talks collapsed, US President Donald Trump said on social media that the negotiations with Tehran failed as "Iran is unwilling to give up its nuclear ambitions".
Trump said the US Navy will actively interdict any vessel in international waters found to have paid tolls to Iran for transiting through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route that handles roughly 20 per cent of global oil and LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas).
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the head of the Iranian negotiation team, said it is for the US to decide whether it can "earn our trust or not".
The Iranian foreign ministry, without elaborating, said the US side resorted to "excessive" and "illegal demands".
The failure to reach an agreement has dimmed the prospect of reopening the Strait of Hormuz to stabilise the global energy marke
