Instead of reporting the incident to the school authorities, the two students lied to the Housemaster that they were playing when one of them got injured, to avoid punishment.
Housemaster then gave the injured student hot water and a towel to nurse his injury instead of referring him to the hospital or further investigating the incident to ascertain the truth.
After the video went viral on social media on Monday, July 24, people started to learn about the incident, which happened around 4 p.m. on June 30.
