Alarm bells rang in Chhattisgarh's Dhamtari district after 35 students from a government middle school were found with healed cut marks on their wrists. The injuries, believed to be weeks old, surfaced after a parent's complaint. Preliminary investigations suggest peer imitation, with students using sharp objects, possibly influenced by a dare or social media trend.
