An intermediate student was allegedly beaten up by his friend in the college hostel when they were playing. Though the teenager’s jaw was fractured, the college management kept his family in the dark. But when his father came to know of the incident and questioned the college management, they allegedly threatened him of dire consequences following which the parents lodged a complaint with Dundigal police of Hyderabad.

According to police, G Diwakar (18) of Mancherial district is in intermediate second year at Akshara Junior college located at Gandimaisamma village in Dundigal, Hyderabad. On December 20, when he and his friend D Raju, also from Mancherial district were playing, Raju allegedly punched Diwakar in the face. His parents claim to have spent Rs 3.5 lakh on expenses. “When I went to the college, the chairman and principal threatened of dire consequences despite knowing that we belong to a scheduled community,” said Gangadhar. B Suman, sub-inspector from Dundigal police station said accused Raju is still absconding.
