An 11-year-old boy from Delhi has been allegedly sexually abused by his senior at a residential school in Dehradun, police said Saturday.

The incident took place on August 3 but came to light when the boy shared it with his parents and they lodged an FIR at Raipur police station in Dehradun on Friday, Station House Officer CB Singh said.

The boy was taken to a room by his senior, a student of class 10, beaten up and then sexually abused, he said.

The 15-year-old accused, who is from Haryana, was expelled after the school management came to know of the incident.
