Minor Kids At Vizianagaram BC Welfare Hostel Forced To Drink Alcohol

Vizianagaram: The scene at the BC Welfare Hostel in Vizianagaram was one of pity and disgust. It is learned that the cook and attender at the hostel, who were having a round of drinks made four minor kids consume alcohol. Not just that the students under the age of 14 were also made to dance to Telugu numbers to entertain the drinking party.

Although the incident happened last week, it came to light only after parents of the children lodged a complaint with the BC Welfare Board.

They said that the staff of the hostel forcefully made the kids drink liquor and the poor kids had to give in fearing punishment. It was worse than ragging, they said.

The Welfare board is looking into the matter and assured the parents that action will be taken against the errant staff. The culprits were suspended immediately pending the inquiry.
