Police have booked seven students of Class VIII from a school in Hadapsar for allegedly beating up a classmate with a metal pipe. The minors nursed a grudge against the boy as he would answer all questions in class, which in turn, led teachers to reprimand others, police said.

The seven minors, all aged 15, were booked under sections of unlawful assembly, rioting, voluntarily causing hurt and criminal intimidation of the Indian Penal Code.
