threatened us, recorded videos.

trapped.

Court Clerk: Victim 2, to the stand.
(Victim 2 takes an oath.)

confidence.
Lawyer 2: Did you try reasoning with them?
Victim 2: Yes, they mocked us more.
Judge: Next witness.
Court Clerk: Police Officer 1, to the stand.
Police Officer 1: Your Honor, we recovered
videos proving the harassment. Statements from
other students confirm the accused’s actions.
Lawyer 1: Do the videos match the victims'
statements?
Police Officer 1: Yes, Your Honor. Clear
evidence of criminal intimidation and assault.
Police Officer 2: Additionally, forensic reports
confirm that the videos were neither edited nor
manipulated. Multiple witnesses support the
victims' claims.
Judge: Lawyer 2?
Lawyer 2: Were the accused cooperative?
Police Officer 1: Initially, they denied, but later
admitted. They also tried to delete some evidence,
which was recovered.
Judge: Culprits, any defense?
Culprit 1: We were just joking. We didn’t mean
harm.
Culprit 2: It got out of hand. We regret it.
Culprit 3: We apologize. But, Your Honor, we
never thought they would take it so seriously.
Judge: A joke does not push someone into
depression. You intentionally humiliated and
threatened them. Do you have anything else to
say?
Culprit 1: Your Honor, we never imagined this
would reach court. It was a mistake, but we were
influenced by seniors. We thought it was a
tradition.
Culprit 2: We swear we didn’t intend to harm
them this badly. We thought it was friendly
teasing, but we realize now it was wrong.
Culprit 3: We understand our actions caused
trauma. If given a chance, we want to make
amends. We’ll accept any punishment but ask for a
chance to prove we’ve changed.
Judge: Apologies won’t erase the trauma. The
accused are found guilty under IPC Sections 294,
506, 509, 323, and 354. They are sentenced to six
months imprisonment with mandatory counseling.
Court dismissed.
