12-year-old’s tongue slashed with scissors over petty dispute in Uttar Pradesh

A fight over a petty issue between two children turned ugly when their families were dragged into it in Bulandshaher’s Khurja area. Heated words soon turned into blows as a result of which one boy’s tongue was allegedly slashed by the other side and another child suffered a head injury after being pushed. Three people have been booked under IPC section 324 (voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means).
