Overview
- The attack, following Monday's annual exam, unfolded in a first-floor lobby when two students argued and a third who stepped in was struck in the right eye with a compass.
- Doctors at LG Hospital referred the boy to M&J Institute of Ophthalmology at Civil Hospital, where surgeons repaired a corneal tear and discharged him, with vision to be assessed in about a week.
- The boy's father filed an FIR at Narol police station, and officers said they will send a report to the Juvenile Justice Board for further action.
- Police registered the case under the Juvenile Justice Act because the accused is a minor, which routes the matter to child-focused procedures that stress rehabilitation.
- The Ahmedabad Municipal School Board ordered an inquiry, told teachers to take charge of student safety on campus and playgrounds, and announced counselling from the June session at the civic-run school of about 1,000 students.
