Mobile phone filmed seniors hitting younger students with belt














Ranchi:  Unaware that they were being filmed, senior students of a prestigious school in Jharkhand lashed younger children with their belts. The clip - that's more than three minutes long - was reportedly filmed by a student at the Sainik School in Telaiya and shared with media persons in the last few days.

The Jharkhand High Court has asked the school, which is run by the Ministry of Defence, to explain the incidents by November 21.

First, a student is seen hitting young children crouched up in a line. Later, another student uses a belt to strike a student seven times. During the clip, references by those filming the incidents to posting the video on YouTube can be heard. 

No teachers can be seen on camera.

The state government is also investigating the assault, which reportedly took place a year ago. The Education Secretary is visiting the school today; officials at the school have said they will take strict action against students found guilty.
