The two students were preparing for engineering entrance exams at the institute where the dispute took place.

One student then allegedly used the butt of a toy gun to repeatedly hit the other student on the head. In the video, blood can be seen coming from the injured student's head as other students carry him.

After the incident, teachers entered the area to calm the students.

Police have started investigating the case to establish the reason for the dispute, identify the object used in the clash, and determine how the situation escalated. They are also looking into claims that a girl was involved in the dispute. So far, the institute has not released any official statement, and no safety measures have been made public.

One person wrote on social media platform X, “Ye kaisa coaching centre hain yaha bacche bandook leke aate hain (What kind of coaching centre is this, where children bring guns?).” Another person clarified, “Initial claims of a classmate shooting the victim with a pistol from his bag were inaccurate; police confirmed it was a toy pistol used to strike the victim's head, causing bleeding but no gunshot wound.”

One expressed shock, writing, “How are such institutions allowed to function even after such incidents, is the boy safe, what happens to the boy who shot him. Unbelievable. Where are we all heading to?”

Another user questioned why other students were recording videos instead of helping the injured student and asked why they were not contacting the police or calling an ambulance. They further added, “Literally bache ke chillane ke baad ek do ladke aaye uski help krne (After the child started screaming, one or two boys came to help).”

Another person called on the authorities to intervene and alleged, “Please look into the matter. The coaching institute is trying hard to suppress the incident. They deleted any information and video of the incident from the phones of their students. The institute is equally responsible for the incident.”
