The victim, identified as Hongmay Ngemu, a Class 12 student at CSKM Public School in South Delhi, was brutally attacked without provocation in Kharak Rewada village on August 25.

The incident came to light when a video of the assault, showing the accused, Neelu Pradhan, physically assaulting Ngemu, went viral on social media. Ngemu sustained severe injuries to his head, leg, and arm, requiring multiple stitches on his head.

Ngemu's elder sister, who later learned of the incident, revealed that they faced difficulties when trying to register a case with the local police. Initially, they were told that the case required a medical examination of the victim, but when they visited AIIMS for the examination, they were informed that the police should accompany them.
