PALAKKAD: Malayalee students were beaten up by a gang inside a bus in Walayar. The victims have been identified as the students of a private college in Coimbatore. According to reports, at least 10 students have sustained injuries in the attack. However, none of their injuries are severe.

Reportedly, the situation worsened after outsiders intervened in a dispute between students. A student had opened the door of the bus allowing the assailants to enter the bus. Earlier, some students had informed the gang about the arrival of the bus. Around 15 youths had barged into the bus, made obscene remarks against the passengers and thrashed the students. The Walayar police have begun an investigation into the incident.
