Bellampalli Rural Inspector Afzaluddin said no case was registered against the students so far with the parents not coming forward to lodge a complaint with the police.

On February 18, seven students from Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Residential School-Chennur were booked for allegedly thrashing another student of the institution. The parents of a Class X student confronted the principal of the school after the student disclosed that seven students beat him severely, made him press their foot and pressurized him to give money when needed.

School principal KV Prakash was suspended for showing negligence in discharging duties resulting in the incident.
