Horrific visuals of the brutal attack on the student were circulated on social media on Friday, a day after the incident at Nalgonda X Road in Hyderabad.
Syed Arif, who sustained grievous injuries, is battling for life at a hospital. The 21-year-old was indiscriminately beaten up by his classmate Kaif in the basement of a private junior college, where they are studying.
Both the students are intermediate students at SIS Vocational College.
The video clip shows a group of students chatting in the basement. One of the students started slapping the victim and continued to kick him after the latter fell on the ground.
A couple of students came to help Arif but he was unable to get up. They later shifted him to a nearby hospital. Police on Friday registered a case and took up investigation.
