Blindfolded Girl Beaten Inside Bolpur Girls' High School: Parents Demand Action and Increased Security

Baby Chakraborty, KalimNews, July 7, 2025, Kolkata : A shocking and deeply troubling incident has taken place at Bolpur Girls' High School, where a ninth-grade student was allegedly blindfolded and brutally beaten by senior students from the eleventh and twelfth grades. The incident, which occurred last Friday, has left the young girl hospitalized, and her family is understandably outraged.

The disturbing nature of the incident has sparked protests from both parents and students, who have gathered outside the school since Monday morning, voicing their anger and demanding accountability. The central questions from the protesting crowd are clear: How could such an act of violence occur in a place meant for learning and safety? Where was the school's security when this horrific act took place? Why weren't parents notified immediately about such a traumatic incident involving their child?

The protesters are also accusing the school authorities of trying to cover up the incident. According to them, no visible action has been taken against the accused students so far, and there has been a lack of transparency from the school administration. The continued silence from the school management has only added to the frustration of the parents and students who are demanding swift justice and better protection measures.

The Bolpur Police Station has intervened, arriving at the scene to monitor the situation and prevent any further escalation. The police have assured that they are investigating the matter, though no major updates have been provided so far.

When approached by the media, the school principal responded by stating, "We are investigating the entire matter seriously. We have informed the police, and necessary action will be taken after we have all the details." Despite this, the parents and students remain unsatisfied with the response and have kept the school closed as part of their ongoing protest. They are demanding that the students responsible for the attack be identified immediately and given appropriate punishment, while also insisting that the school take stronger measures to ensure the safety of students going forward.

Locals and concerned parents are voicing their concerns that this incident has cast a dark shadow over the school environment. Many fear it will contribute to a growing sense of insecurity among students and parents alike. With emotions running high, the situation remains tense, and the calls for justice continue to grow louder.
