An eight year old student severely injured a six year old girl during a brutal assault inside a Haryana school classroom on October 28, prompting a police investigation into school negligence.

The young victim suffered critical injuries after being struck with stones and a flowerpot on school premises. Emergency responders took her to a local hospital before transferring her to the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in Chandigarh.

The violent episode has sparked intense public alarm over student safety and monitoring standards inside educational institutions. Authorities are examining surveillance systems and institutional supervision following the attack.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Aditi Singh said, "On October 28, an unfortunate incident took place at Government Model Senior Secondary School, Sector 20, Panchkula, in which an eight-year-old student assaulted a six-year-old student inside a classroom."

Police filed a criminal case against the school management under the Juvenile Justice Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Investigators pointed to clear supervisory failures by the administration.

According to NDTV, family members disputed institutional oversight after discovering the injured child and questioning why staff failed to prevent the prolonged classroom violence despite active monitoring systems.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Singh said, "As an eight-year-old minor is involved in the incident, his psychological evaluation is being conducted by experts in accordance with the provisions of the Juvenile Justice Act."

The boy is currently undergoing medical assessments to determine the motives behind the attack. Officials stated that further legal actions will depend entirely on these clinical evaluations.

The Haryana State Commission for Protection of Child Rights intervened by demanding a detailed factual report from district education officials regarding the departmental response to the crisis.

Commission Chairperson Tripti Sheoran said, "We intend to have the child undergo a mental health evaluation and counselling to understand why he behaved this way."

Police announced plans to issue mandatory safety standard operating procedures for all local schools. Officers will also launch outreach programs to educate teachers and students on campus safety.

The injured girl remains hospitalized under medical care in Chandigarh while authorities continue questioning school administrators and the parents of the student involved.
