- DIMAPUR — A video
circulating on social media showing a student being verbally and physically
assaulted by a group of girls has sparked public concern and prompted a swift
response from the Chümoukedima Town Students’ Union (CTSU), which has issued a
stern warning to the school believed to be involved.
- In the widely shared video, approximately nine to ten girls
are seen surrounding another girl, who is subjected to physical aggression,
including shoving and hair-pulling, along with verbal abuse.
- Some of the girls can be heard using foul language and
threatening to make the video viral.
- While most of those involved appear to be in casual
clothing, one of the girls seen manhandling the victim is wearing a uniform
believed to be from North Town Higher Secondary School, Chümoukedima.
- In a statement issued on Sunday, the CTSU demanded that the
school identify all those involved and share their details with the union.

prompt and appropriate action.”
- The CTSU also stated it will continue to monitor the
situation closely and urged full cooperation from the school authorities.
