A scuffle involving students of Queen Mary Higher Secondary School (QMHSS) broke out on September 5, 2024, at Mokokchung town’s park following the Teacher’s Day celebration. A video of the incident has since gone viral on social media.
According to police officials, the altercation erupted between Class 8 and Class 9 students due to an existing animosity between two individuals. The situation escalated as both students called in their friends, resulting in a group fight.
