A 14-year-old Class IX student of Delhi Public School (DPS), Nacharam, sustained serious injuries after classmates gave him ‘birthday bumps’ during school hours.

The Nacharam police registered a case following a complaint lodged by the boy’s mother on September 11.

According to the complaint, the incident occurred on the boy’s birthday on August 29, when his classmates lifted him and a student allegedly kneed him in the groin, while others applied pressure.

“The boy complained of severe pain and later suffered bleeding and swelling in his private parts,” said an officer from Nacharam police. His mother shared that the school staff informed her after he reported the incident to the vice principal.
