Description

On the 31st of January, a Tamil school student was reportedly attacked by unknown persons and was later hospitalized. The student had earlier informed the police about illicit drug activity in his locality when the police had visited his
school to raise awareness about the illegal drug trade and ways to report it. The police had used the student’s information to arrest two individuals, following which the student was repeatedly harassed and threatened by the local drug dealers. While the student had complained about these threats to the police, no action was taken.
