A horrific incident occurred at a school in Pachchham village of Dhandhuka in Ahmedabad district. A video has gone viral showing a minor student being assaulted by fellow students in the government hostel of Pachchham village.
The viral video shows two male students performing a heinous act of inserting a foreign object in the private parts of a fellow male student. The victim can be heard crying out in pain, but despite his suffering, the perpetrators continue to torment him.
The victim’s cries and screams were ignored, and instead, he was beaten further to silence him. He was assaulted with slippers and sticks. The entire incident was recorded by another student. Other students in the room witnessed the brutality, but no one stepped in to stop it. The victim kept crying, yet the perpetrators showed no mercy. The severity of his injuries was evident, and fear prevented him from even calling for help.
The district police have initiated a complaint process regarding this incident. Meanwhile, the education department has been urged to take immediate action. However, a crucial question arises—since the perpetrators are minors, will strict action be taken against them? Many believe that to set an example, severe action must be taken against these students.
According to mental health experts, incidents like this leave a lifelong impact on a person’s mind. The victim may develop phobias, suffer from psychological trauma, and be haunted by thoughts of how society, parents, and others perceive him. He might even lose his self-confidence and, in extreme cases, take drastic steps. Victims of such incidents often require continuous psychological counselling to recover, and even then, not everyone can overcome the trauma. This suffering extends not only to the victim but also to their entire family, who must endure the consequences of this horrifying act.
