MANGALORE, August 20: A physically disabled boy was allegedly made to drink urine by three of his seniors at Nala, Belthangady on Wednesday last.

According to information available, the boy who is studying in Std IV at a government school at Gerukatte was made to drink urine by three boys from Std VI. While he was on his way home, the trio snatched his water bottle, urinated into it and made him drink.

Though the boy tried to explain the incident to his parents, the hearing and speech impaired boy’s language could not be understood by his parents. When he refused to go to school the next day, the parents came to school and they came to know about the incident.

The boy’s father filed a complaint with police on Thursday and on Tuesday, the police took the boys to remand home in Mangalore from the school directly in their uniforms. As the remand home refused to accept the boys without proper authorisation, the police took them back asking them to appear at the police station on Wednesday.

On Wednesday, the boys got admitted to a hospital alleging harassment by police. The parents of the accused were angry that the police took the children to remand home directly without informing them.
