A special report on school safety examines two horrific incidents of violence that unfolded inside classrooms. In Sector 20, Panchkula, a six-year-old kindergarten student with special needs, was brutally assaulted by an eight-year-old classmate inside an empty classroom and left unconscious for hours. The incident triggered public outrage, leading to the suspension of the school principal and two teachers, an FIR under the Juvenile Justice Act and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and state-wide safety audits. Meanwhile, at a government high school in Raptadu, Andhra Pradesh, a 21-year-old man named Hemant stormed a Class 10 mathematics lesson with a chainsaw, critically injuring a girl student and hurting another who intervened. The attacker was later apprehended following a police encounter in the Atmakur forest area. Both cases highlight glaring lapses in school vigilance, monitoring, and perimeter security, leaving parents questioning the safety of educational spaces.
