KRISHNAGIRI: A student from a government high school near Madheypatti village in Krishnagiri allegedly assaulted his classmates with a knife on Friday. Students from Ittikal Agaram, Sembadamuthur and other nearby villages study in the school.
According to sources, two groups of students studying in Class 10 in a government high school near Madheypatti village were involved in a quarrel outside the school premises on Friday evening.
One student allegedly took out a knife during the quarrel and attacked two other students on their head
and hand respectively. Sources said that following the incident, both students took treatment for minor
