Indore: The condition of injured Class 4 student Aradhya Pandey (10) was reported to be stable on Monday. He is undergoing treatment at his residence.
Aradhya had sustained injuries following alleged multiple attacks on his leg from a geometry compass by three of his classmates in a private school in Indore. The incident came to light after Aradhya revealed the matter to his parents.
When his parents’ complaint to the school principal, he reportedly took it lightly and assured them of action on Tuesday as school will remain closed due to holiday on Monday.
