A shocking incident unfolded on Wednesday when a school student brought a machete to class, concealed in his bag. The discovery, made by a vigilant teacher, led to the revelation that the boy intended to avenge a previous attack by a classmate, police confirmed.

Once the machete was found, the student was questioned in the presence of the school headmaster. He admitted to planning an assault on a classmate who had attacked him on September 10. Both the attacker and his accomplice were summoned for questioning.

The government-aided institution decided to refer all three students to juvenile justice authorities. This incident follows a similar case last month in Tirunelveli district, where three students brought a knife to school intending to attack their teacher. They were subsequently sent to the Palaymkottai government observation home.
