An argument inside the classroom of a private school in Gurugram's Sushant Lok-1 took an ugly turn after a Class 11 student suffered 12 fractures in his skull, jaws, and face when he was beaten up outside the school gates, allegedly by his classmates, seniors, and their associates from a nearby neighbourhood.

Police said that on Tuesday around 3pm, the 16-year-old victim walked out of school after his English exam, when a student who was walking with him took him towards a row of five cars parked near the school entrance.

Inspector Rishi Kant, station house officer (SHO), DLF police station, Sector 29, told HT, "At least 7-10 suspects can be seen assaulting the minor in the CCTV footage that has been retrieved. The exact reason behind this assault is unclear. We will question the boy once he recovers."

Three days after the incident, however, no one has been arrested, apprehended or brought in for questioning. "We received the complaint from the boy's father on Tuesday night, and filed a first information report on Wednesday. On Thursday, we got the CCTV footage from the school as well as nearby shops. We have identified some of the suspects and are in the process of identifying the rest. The accused will be in police custody by Friday. Appropriate action will be taken if any of the suspects are minors," Kant said.
