 Gujarat student receives death threats from expelled peer on social media; FIR lodged

AHMEDABAD: Even as protests continue over the death of 15-year-old Nayan Santani who was stabbed by a fellow student outside Seventh Day Adventist school in Maninagar earlier this week, another case of student strife has surfaced; this time, at IP Mission School in Raikhad.

Police said a Class 12 student lodged a complaint against an expelled peer who allegedly threatened him with abusive messages on a social media platform.According to an FIR filed at Gaikwad Haveli police station on Friday, the conflict began around 10 days ago with a minor altercation inside the classroom. "A Class 12 student accidentally hit a female classmate with a door, triggering a heated exchange. The school principal intervened and resolved the dispute at the time, ensuring both sides apologized and shook hands," stated the complaint. But the situation escalated when one of the students, already expelled from the school allegedly "for indiscipline and misconduct towards teachers and classmates", allegedly revived the matter through social media. Using a fake Instagram account, he sent a barrage of threatening messages to the complainant late on Thursday night.

The complainant stated in his police report that the messages contained abusive language and explicit threats of violence. According to him, the accused warned: "If I see you at school, you will regret it" and "Apologise with folded hands, or you'll be left with no hands to fold and apologise.""The messages were shocking and intimidating," said the student in the complaint. Disturbed by the threats, the student and his family reported the matter to police, submitting printed copies of the abusive messages as evidence.
