Gwalior: A minister in the Bihar government claims that his 14-year-old son, a student at the famous Scindia School in Gwalior, was harassed so badly by seniors that he is now in critical condition in hospital.
The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was moved from the boarding school to a Delhi hospital yesterday.
"The patient was brought to the hospital yesterday at 8:30 am in a very critical condition and was immediately attended to by our team of experts," said a senior doctor from Apollo Hospital.
The minister, Jai Kumar Singh, told news agency Press Trust of India that school officials claimed his son had tried to kill himself.
"But, I strongly dispute this," he was quoted as saying. "Even doctors attending on him at Apollo hospital said it does not seems a case of suicide but that of a case of him being throttled," he alleged.
The minister said that he has not filed a police case against the school because he is focussing on his son's recovery.
