Andhra Pradesh: An old video has surfaced showing students assaulting and beating their juniors at a private college in Narasaraopet, Andhra Pradesh. This video, filmed in February at the hostel of Sri Subbaraya and Narayana College, has prompted the police to register a case and begin an investigation.
The juniors were summoned to the hostel under the pretense of NCC (National Cadet Corps) training and were brutally beaten.
