Plus One students brutally assaulted in ‘ragging' incident at Thiruvananthapuram school
T'puram: Three Plus One students were allegedly brutally assaulted by senior students in a suspected ragging incident at a school in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday. A video of the incident, which allegedly took place inside a classroom at Alamcode Govt VHSS in Attingal, went viral on social media platforms on Friday. The three students suffered grievous injuries in their eyes and face. However, Nagaroor Police have not registered any case over the incident yet, claiming that no one has come forward with a formal complaint. The school management suspended at least seven Plus Two students for 15 days, pending disciplinary actions against them. According to reports, the senior students reached the class of the Plus One students during lunch break on Wednesday. They then allegedly asked the juniors to introduce themselves. While doing so, one of the junior students was asked to be louder, which led to an argument. Two other students argued on his behalf, leading to a group clash. The senior students then brutally attacked their juniors in front of teachers and escaped. Following the incident, police convened a meeting of parents, students, and school management to discuss the issue. "In the meeting, the affected parties were not willing to file complaints as the issue was settled by them. The Plus Two students were warned not to repeat such offences in future to avoid facing strict actions," said police.

Man gets one-week parole for arranging son's Plus One admission
Kochi: Kerala high court has granted one-week parole to a convict serving a life term to enable him to arrange Plus One admission for his son who passed the SSLC examination with high marks. The man is currently in jail for killing his father over a property dispute. Justice P V Kunhikrishnan issued the order on Tuesday on a petition filed by the convict's wife, seeking emergency leave for her husband to arrange admission for their child. The request had earlier been denied by the jail authorities, who cited the absence of a provision for such a release. The court directed the authorities of the Central Prison and Correctional Home, Thavanur, to release the petitioner's husband on emergency parole for one week, from June 12 to 18. The release is conditional upon the execution of a bond for Rs 1 lakh with two solvent sureties. The convict is required to return to prison by 4pm on June 18. The convict, a native of Palakkad, was sentenced to life imprisonment by the additional sessions court, Palakkad, in 2023. Upon reviewing the mark list of the petitioner's son, the court noted that the student had secured six A plus and two A grades in the SSLC examination. The court further observed that it could not turn a blind eye to the plea of a bright student seeking his father's assistance to pursue higher education. It emphasised that the fundamental rights of a convict include the right to provide a good education to their child. A father's presence, the court noted, plays a crucial role in a child's educational journey by offering emotional support, guidance, and mentorship. "Let the child spend a few days with his father and begin his Plus Two course with blessings from his parents and a smile on their faces," the court concluded.
