Three boys held for assaulting schoolmate

Trichy: Trichy city police have apprehended three students and registered a case against another boy of a govt higher secondary school for allegedly assaulting a 15-year-old school mate in Anna Nagar on Friday.
Thillai Nagar police took into custody two 16-year-old boys and a 14-year-old boy and booked an 18-year-old boy on charges of physically assaulting the boy from Anna Nagar, inflicting injuries on him and subjecting him to verbal abuse.All four are students of the govt higher secondary school in Gandhi Market.
Police said the altercation began on August 8 afternoon when the 15-year-old boy’s friend and one of the accused got into a quarrel after one of them uttered an offensive word.
The 15-year-old intervened and managed to reconcile the two parties. However, his intervention infuriated the four accused. On Thursday night, as he was standing near a salon on Akbar Street in Thennur, the four boys confronted him, setting off an argument. As the situation escalated, the accused assaulted the 15-year-old, causing injuries to his head. His parents admitted him to Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital (MGMGH) in Trichy.

As doctors advised that the boy has to undergo surgery, police obtained a complaint from him. Based on it, a case was registered and three of the accused were apprehended. They were presented before the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) which ordered their placement in the govt observation home in Trichy.
