When the victim came across Apan and asked about her brother, he took her to the 1st floor saying he was staying there, according to the friend.
As she did not come down even after a long time, her friend went back and told their teacher who along with several students rushed in and asked Apan, who started acting rowdily, the OC said. Later, the schoolteacher informed the matter to the victim’s father.
