UMy little brother was physically hurt yesterday by bullies. They repeatedly punched on his head and since then he is suffering from high fever. We talked to school but they haven’t taken any strict actions on bullies yet.
I’m honestly burning with rage.
Can I file FIR on the bullies?
My brother is in 8th standard.

CGo to the principal first. Sternly tell them unless those bullies are suspended, you won’t be backing down.
If they still don’t do anything, file a case complaint.

CPocso+FIR+Twitter post tagging many political parties(political parties love to show good work)+Lawsuit for willful negligence.

UI am not a lawyer. Take your brother to the doctor, do a checkup. Head injuries are not to be taken lightly. Take the note from the doctor, prescription of medicines, etc. Go to the principal a final time showing all the doctor’s note, prescription, say if they don’t take action you will lawyer up and get the school board and police involved. Add the teachers and principal involved in the FIR as well.
Recommend you to take a lawyer because police might deny registering a FIR.

PAll those who are not lawyers, don’t give a threatening warning of getting lawyered up to anyone before taking action. It shows weakness and give opportunity for opposing party to lawyered up before and save themselves from potential action which they are guilty of. In this case particularly If you threaten school for taking action then they might not and they themselves get lawyered up and also can affect the future of child.

HYes, you can file an FIR under Section 323 (causing hurt) and Section 506 (criminal intimidation) of IPC. Visit the nearest police station with medical reports and file a complaint. If they refuse, escalate to the SP, NCPCR (ncpcr.gov.in), or District Education Officer. Also, document everything and hold the school accountable for inaction.
Wishing your brother a speedy recovery.

UIndia has extremely severe child abuse laws – which aren’t just for child sexual abuse.
If you go the legal route, people vetting people, expect future retaliation from the school authorities – so make sure you’re prepared to switch schools for lil bro.
But yes, like the top comment says: visit doctor. Inform Principal. If still nothing, lawyer up and file FIR.

UNAL.
This is serious and totally unacceptable. Your brother would need a medical checkup to rule out any injuries + counselling for a possible PTSD.
No school wants to take onus of rowdy kids and their behaviour as this usually stems from their home environment. And any sensible school will do the following
* Call their parents and ask for a written undertaking to accept what their kids did, that it will not repeat in future and that they will not take any kind of revenge with your brother take in writing
* This can be done in front of you or you can be given a copy of the undertaking.Anyone would be enraged when their loved ones are hurt, but think thought it calmly how far you want to go and accordingly pursuit the next step.
There are few things to track
* Schools fear Education Department and Ministry of Education
* Find the contact of education Department of your city/state
* You can write to them copying medical report, your interaction with principal and other details.
* You can refer to recent incident of Kerala medical college raggingand highlight concern that such bullies if not handled can go to extreme
* If you intend to pursuit the legal angle, the first thing you do is lawyer up.
* Do not reach out to school on your own.
* Is the school CCTV covered ? If yes, it’s highly likely that incident is captured
* You can also seek inputs from other kids who can verify what those bullies did
* Be prepped up for push back from parents of the bullies
* Send copies of every thing to Education Department and Ministry of EducationHaving said that, unless mental issues, kids are not bully by birth. It is their own experiences that turn them disruptive. Many parents are not able to or do not pay attention leading to their kids suffer and turn bullies. Which is why counselling of parents is equally important.
At your end, ensure that your brother heals both physically and psychologically.

BYou can file a complaint against the school and the bullies. Not only can you complain about the school to the police but also to the directorate of education (depending on the state you live in, probably has a different title). Make sure you send it through the post and keep a copy of the receipts. If still no action is taken one can approach the court directly for filing a complaint.
On a much more realistic note. Shit like this happens in life man. People get bullied because bullies exist. You gotta teach the Lil bro to stand up for himself. Otherwise he’ll be scared forever. I’m not sure what the extent of bullying your brother goes through, but if it’s serious enough for him to be hospitalised, then a police complaint is the way to go.

UI keep saying this on reddit. Assault is assault. And assault is a criminal offence as per IPC. You have full right to submit an FIR. For any form of asault.
How seriously it is taken or enforced is a different thing. If you have money you can pay the cops to go threaten and they will oblige depending on how much you pay because it is legally okay for them to do stuff like question the perpetrator or talk to the principal. Police getting involved the school will take it more seriously.
If it was someone rich or powerful they would have done it already.
