34 Girls in Hospital After Mob Barges Into Bihar School, Thrashes Them for Resisting Harassment
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.
