A 16-year-old boy was brutally attacked by two fellow students at a playground in Kalpetta, Wayanad, as confirmed by police on Sunday.

The victim, a student of Kaniyambetta Government Higher Secondary School, was lured to the spot on January 21, following instructions from the accused. Shocking footage reveals the attackers using a stick to strike the boy on his face, head, and back, demanding an apology as he was forced to hold their feet.
