Hyderabad: An incident at Sri Chaitanya School in Aliyabad, Shamsheergunj, has led to a troubling escalation of tensions, stirring communal unrest and raising concerns about school safety.
The altercation began on Tuesday evening when a 13-year-old student observing Swamy Deeksha was reportedly assaulted by a group of fellow students. While initially seen as a minor disagreement, the situation took a dramatic turn, leading to protests and confrontations on Wednesday morning.
Eyewitnesses reported that family members of the students involved arrived at the school in large numbers, with some forcibly entering classrooms and pulling a child out. The group allegedly raised slogans targeting a particular community, heightening the communal undertone of the incident. Though no physical injuries were reported, the actions created panic among students and staff.
The situation intensified further as several Swamyees (religious leaders) gathered at the school to demand justice for the student observing Swamy Deeksha. Protestors were also accused of attacking the parents of the other students involved.
