Reports have emerged regarding incidents of student violence and bullying in Indian educational institutions.

In Raipur, a video surfaced showing a student at Swami Atmanand School being repeatedly assaulted by a group of youths following a dispute. The footage allegedly captured the victim being struck dozens of times and kicked in the face. The victim’s family raised concerns over school safety and the administration’s response, leading the student to transfer schools.

In the Rayagada district of Odisha, a separate incident was reported at the Penta PM SHRI Government High School hostel. A senior student is accused of assaulting a junior student and forcing younger students to perform chores under humiliating conditions. The matter gained attention after a video of a student describing the ordeal went viral, amid allegations that school authorities tried to suppress the information.
