It all began when a woman student took exception to certain comments made by the student-victim during a social media chat last month and she informed some friends, they said.

Some of them reportedly went to his room on November 1 and bashed him up. He complained to the institute management and later e-mailed to some government officials, they said.

Later, he complained to the police and a case was registered.

In the same case, nine members of the school administration have been booked for alleged inaction on the incident, the police said.
