Nandapur/12th Sept 2025: A Class 1 student was seriously injured after allegedly being beaten by a group of Class 5 students at the boys’ hostel located at the headquarters of Kularsingh Panchayat in Nandapur Block.
Upon receiving this information, the District Police have ordered the Padua Police to investigate the incident.
Following this, the authorities showed promptness in arranging medical treatment for the injured student.
On Wednesday, hostel warden Males Sabar visited the child’s native village Pradhaniput and discussed the matter with the child’s family members. The family reported that the child’s health condition was not stable.
Therefore, the student was taken to Lamtaput for treatment.
