Deputy commissioner of police (north) Sagar Singh Kalsi said that on Wednesday, a resident of Malka Ganj filed a complaint stating that his 13-year-old daughter was beaten up by a few students of Class 10 during a scuffle during the day, but they did not report the matter at the time and took the girl to a local hospital. She was discharged after treatment. Later, they found out that the girls had uploaded a video of the incident on Instagram, and decided to approach police.

“A written complaint was tendered by the girl in this regard. She alleged that five girls - all juveniles studying in Class 10 in her school- whom she can identify beat her. The girl was medically examined and as per provisions of Juvenile Justice Act, a police investigation report will be filed before the Juvenile Justice Board,” Kalsi said.
