B'luru: Class X student beaten, left with broken teeth, loss of vision for talking to girl in class
Bengaluru: A shocking incident unfolded at a private school in Srirampura, where a class 10 student, Aadarsh (name changed), was brutally thrashed by four of his classmates, leaving him with two broken teeth and temporary partial loss of vision. The incident occurred on Thursday after Aadarsh spoke to a girl in his class regarding some notes. It is reported that one of the attackers had feelings for the girl.
According to Aadarsh's mother, who filed a complaint with the police, the altercation took place at around 3.45 pm on July 27, while Aadarsh was returning home after his class. Earlier in the day, he had requested the girl for her notes, and during a brief conversation, he borrowed the notes and returned to his seat.
Unfortunately, Himanshu (name changed), a classmate who observed the exchange, took offense and confronted Aadarsh during the physical training period. Later, after school hours, Himanshu and three other boys intercepted Aadarsh when he was just four buildings away from the school. They proceeded to attack him, kicking and punching him in the face repeatedly, resulting in the breakage of two of his upper teeth and other injuries.
Aadarsh's distraught mother stated that her son's vision has been temporarily affected due to the injuries, and doctors have advised him to rest for nearly a month while receiving treatment. The school management has assured the family that they will take necessary action, including summoning the parents of the four boys involved.
The incident has led to a case being booked against the four boys under the Juvenile Justice Act. Since the attackers are students, they will be questioned by child welfare officials as part of the investigation.

Real Madrid fines Valverde and Tchouaméni half a million euros each for altercation
Barcelona (AP): Real Madrid slapped players Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni with half-a-million-euro ($588,000) fines on Friday for their altercation during practice.
The massive fines came a day after the midfielders tussled when the team trained. Valverde said in a post on social media on Thursday that no punches were thrown. But Valverde knocked his head on a table and he suffered a small cut that required a brief hospital visit.
On social media, Valverde initially called it a “meaningless fight” with a teammate and said “everything has been blown out of proportion."
His employers, however, considered it a significant enough breach of team discipline to nail both Valverde and Tchouaméni with fines that bite even the bank account of a top soccer player. The half-a-million euro penalties reflect the reputational damage the club was enduring in a chaotic end to a disappointing season.
In a statement, the 15-time European champion said its disciplinary action was concluded after both players expressed to the club “their complete remorse for what happened and apologized to one another.”
Madrid added they also apologized to their teammates, the coaching staff and club supporters, as well as showing their willingness to accept whatever disciplinary action the club deemed “opportune.”
Tchouaméni was back training with Madrid on Friday, two days before they play at Barcelona in a clasico. Madrid has to win otherwise Barcelona will be crowned La Liga champion.
After being notified of the fine, he posted a public apology to the club and its fans on social media.
“What happened this week in training is unacceptable,” Tchouaméni wrote. "I say this while thinking about the example we are expected to set for young people, whether in football or at school.
“Above all, I am sorry for the image we projected of the club.”
Valverde was not at practice due to the head knock.
Both players are set to play in the World Cup next month, with Tchouaméni playing for France and Valverde for Uruguay.
Chaotic end to a poor season
===================
The run-in between the players, who for seasons have played side by side in Madrid's midfield, came after they argued this week in previous training sessions. But tempers boiled over on Thursday. Spanish media was rife with reports that the players previously disagreed over the club's decision to let coach Xabi Alonso go after just months on the job.
It was not the only altercation involving Madrid players during training this week. Álvaro Carreras confirmed he was in a “minor” incident with a teammate. Spanish media said he and fellow defender Antonio Rüdiger got into a scuffle.
Álvaro Arbeloa, the coach who was promoted from Madrid's reserve team when Alonso was fired in January, will face tough questions on what went wrong inside the changing room when he gives a press conference on Saturday ahead of the clasico at Camp Nou.
Madrid is facing a second consecutive campaign without a major trophy amid rumors in the Spanish media that club president Florentino Pérez is considering bringing back Jose Mourinho to straighten out his underperforming team.
