Karnataka: Four young girls hospitalised after miscreants throw chemical-laced colours during Holi
Gadag: In a disturbing incident, four schoolgirls were hospitalised after a group of miscreants threw chemical-laced colours at them during Holi celebrations in Suvarnagiri Tanda near Lakshmeshwara, Gadag district, on Friday, the first day of the festival.
The group, which included some schoolboys from the same locality, targeted ten girls who were on their way to Uma Vidyalaya High School in Lakshmeshwara by bus. Despite the girls pleading that they had exams to attend, the youths disregarded their requests and doused them with adulterated colours, sources told The New Indian Express.
Additionally, they threw a mixture of water, egg, manure, and some juice at the girls, causing severe discomfort.
The girls, studying in Class 8 and 9, began vomiting, prompting the bus driver to halt and transfer them to another vehicle for immediate assistance. Upon reaching Lakshmeshwara, the condition of four girls deteriorated, and they developed breathing difficulties, the report added.
Their teachers rushed them to a nearby government hospital for urgent medical attention.
Authorities have since detained two boys in connection with the incident. Senior police officials visited the hospital and assured the victims' families that strict action would be taken against those responsible.
