In a shocking incident a couple of days ago, a BCom-1 student coming home from a coaching class with her brother was teased by three boys. When she confronted them, they thrashed her and her brother.

Later, the boys, along with their accomplices, reached the house of the girl and attacked the entire family. The girl was hit with a rod and suffered a serious injury in the leg.
