The boy was sent back to his hometown Karnal."I was ragged and tortured, brutally beaten, they tried to sexually abuse me," said the boy, who cannot be identified for legal reasons. "They stay in my hostel. They are my seniors, they try to bully me, but the college didn't take any action, they only wanted a compromise."

The boy's family alleges that the police recorded their complaint reluctantly, and did register an FIR or First Information Report, but none of the accused seniors have been questioned till now."Those boys went to the hostel, beat him up and asked him for money. They made a video clip and threatened to kill him. Our kid was mentally harassed, he is depressed but the college didn't take any action," said the boy's uncle.
