Girls fighting over a boy on a busy road in Uttar Pradesh’s Baghpat grabbed attention as videos of the incident went viral. The teenagers, dressed in school uniforms, were seen punching, kicking, and dragging each other by the hair while other students and passersby attempted to intervene.
The incident occurred in Aminagar Sarai Town under the Singhwali Police Station area on Tuesday. The scuffle reportedly began after the girls, both Class 10 students at a local school, discovered that they both liked the same boy from their school. According to sources, the boy often interacted with both girls, leading to jealousy and ultimately a physical altercation outside the school premises.
Authorities are currently investigating the matter. “The video is being probed, and the matter will be investigated accordingly,” said a police official. The viral videos, which sparked discussions online, highlight the extent to which such rivalries can escalate among teenagers.
This is not the first time such an incident has come to light. Physical altercations among students over personal matters have been reported in the past, pointing to the need for better conflict resolution mechanisms in schools. Schools and parents need to educate students about managing emotions and resolving conflicts constructively to prevent such incidents.
The viral nature of this incident also sheds light on the role of social media in amplifying such events. Videos of the fight, widely circulated online, have drawn mixed reactions, with many emphasizing the need for counseling and stricter discipline in schools to curb such behavior.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing teenage conflicts early, fostering communication, and ensuring a supportive environment for students.
