According to the police, the issue began on Wednesday when a few second-year students ragged the junior during an interaction on campus. When he informed his elder brother about the harassment, his brother questioned the seniors, which angered them.
In rage, a group of 80 second-year students reportedly gathered at the student's residence in Shantinagar that night and called his father out of the house. A video has also gone viral on social media, showing the large crowd gathered in front of the student's house.
As per Siasat Daily report, the police said the seniors had gone to the house with the intention of confronting the family and allegedly tried to attack them. Apart from the recorded video, the incident was also caught on CCTV.
Following this, the student's father immediately filed a complaint, following which the Sangareddy police registered a case and detained a few seniors involved in the incident.
