Five students, all minors, of a private Industrial Training Institute (ITI) near Mayiladuthurai have been arrested by the police for assaulting a fellow student.
Earlier, a clip showing the assault and abuse of a 16-year-old second-year student by the five accused went viral on social media. Based on a complaint from the victim, five minors involved in the attack were arrested. The police were on the look out for another 17-year-old boy in connection with the case.
The victim was apparently assaulted for questioning the other boys for sitting in his class.
