A 16-year-old boy was apprehended from Jharkhand’s Dumka district on Sunday after a video clip shared on social media showed him raining kicks on a girl in school uniform, a police officer said.
Retweeting the video clip shared by a Twitter user, who claimed that the incident had happened in Pakur, Chief Minister Hemant Soren directed the district police to take appropriate action in the matter.
The police immediately initiated a probe into the matter and found out that the boy, a student of Class 9, was the resident of Dumka district.
"The Dumka Police is now carrying out further investigation into the case," Pakur Superintendent of Police (SP) Hrudeep P Janardhanan told PTI.
Prima facie, it seems to be a case of a love affair, said Dumka sub-divisional police officer (SDPO) Noor Mustafa Ansari.
The incident happened around a fortnight ago, but the video came to light only recently, the SDPO said.
"Both the boy and the girl are from tribal communities. They have been brought to Gopikandar police station for interrogation. The boy will be sent to a remand home as he is a minor," Ansari added.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday arrived in Japan on a two-day visit to attend a summit of the Quad leaders which is aimed at further bolstering cooperation among the member nations of the influential grouping and discussing developments in the strategic Indo-Pacific region.
"Landed in Tokyo. Will be taking part in various programmes during this visit including the Quad Summit, meeting fellow Quad leaders, interacting with Japanese business leaders and the vibrant Indian diaspora," Modi tweeted in both Japanese and English.
"Ohay?, Tokyo! PM @narendramodi arrives to a warm welcome in Tokyo on what is his fifth visit to Japan in the last 8 years," External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi tweeted.
Prime Minister Modi interacted with children outside the hotel in Tokyo. He also saw the drawing of a young girl and signed an autograph for her during his interaction with the children.
He then interacted with a boy who was waiting for him with a drawing of the tricolour. Prime Minister Modi asked him from where he learnt Hindi and praised him for his fluency in the language.
“Japan’s Indian community has made pioneering contributions in different fields. They have also remained connected with their roots in India. I thank the Indian diaspora in Japan for the warm welcome,” Prime Minister Modi said on Twitter after his interaction with the community.
Besides Modi, the Quad summit in Tokyo on May 24 will be attended by US President Joe Biden, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Australian prime minister-elect Anthony Albanese.
"In Japan, I will also participate in the second in-person Quad Leaders' Summit, which will provide an opportunity for the leaders of the four Quad countries to review the progress of Quad initiatives," Modi said in his departure statement.
"We will also exchange views about developments in the Indo-Pacific region and global issues of mutual interest," said Modi, whose visit to Japan is taking place under the shadow of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
The Quad or Quadrilateral Security Dialogue comprises India, the US, Japan and Australia.
Modi, who is visiting Tokyo at the invitation of his Japanese counterpart Fumio Kishida, will hold separate bilateral meetings with Biden, Kishida and Albanese on the sidelines of the summit.
He had hosted Kishida for the 14th India-Japan Annual Summit in March 2022.
"During my visit to Tokyo, I look forward to continuing our conversation further, with an aim to strengthen the India-Japan Special Strategic and Global Partnership," Modi said ahead of his visit.
He said economic cooperation between India and Japan is an important aspect of their Special Strategic and Global Partnership.
Modi also said that he is looking forward to a bilateral meeting with newly-elected Australian Prime Minister Albanese during which the multifaceted cooperation between the two countries under the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, and regional and global issues of mutual interest will be discussed.
Noting that Japan is home to nearly 40,000 members of the Indian diaspora, who are an important anchor in India's relations with Japan, Modi said he looks forward to interacting with them.

The Election Commission has refused to disclose its correspondence with social media giants including Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and Twitter under the Right to Information Act after objections raised by these companies, the poll panel had said.
The Election Commission had received an RTI query by Pune-based activist Vihar Durve seeking information on the EC's correspondence with social media companies between 2019 and 2022.
Applying the third party clause under section 11 of the Act, the Commission sought the views of the companies on disclosing the correspondence.
In case of an RTI applicant seeking third party information, section 11 of the Act directs the Central Public Information Officer to take views of the third party concerned before disclosing the record.
The final decision on disclosure rests with the officer.
Durve had sought the details of "correspondence, record, information, emails (with the notings) etc made by the ECI with twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, any other social media platform" exchanged between ECI and these companies between 2019 and 2022.
"Disclosure of any communication between ECI and Social Media platforms would attract Section 11 of the RTI Act, 2005 i.e third party disclosure. Third party is not in favour and made submission against disclosure," the ECI said in response to Durve’s query, while denying the information.
In the run up to General Elections in 2019, social media companies had agreed to a voluntary code which included a silence period of 48 hours before polling.
According to the code, no political campaign will be allowed to be run on social media platforms in the last 48 hours before polling ends. This period is referred to as "silence period" to allow voters take a considered decision without the heat and dust of campaign on whom to vote.
The code also facilitates transparency in paid political advertisements.
This was for the first time internet-based companies voluntarily adopted the norms for on-line poll campaign.

As Delhi is facing a heatwave for the past 2-3 weeks, a Delhi auto driver has come up with an innovative idea and has taken an environmental-friendly move by converting his auto rooftop into a little garden.
Mahendra Kumar is an auto driver who is driving an auto-rickshaw for the past 3 decades. In order to avoid the heatwave, Kumar decided to grow some plants on the rooftop of his auto which helps him and as well as the passengers stay cool in the vehicle.

Days after a report placed the Indian Air Force above its Chinese counterpart, the Chinese propaganda machine has gone into overdrive. Recently, the World Directory of Modern Military Aircraft released Global Air Power Rankings 2022.
In the Top 10 list, the Indian Air Force was placed above China, Japan, Israel, and France. The only two air forces above India were USA and Russia.
The WDMMA calculates a TvR, or True Value Rating score to compare combat strength of various forces with aerial warfare capabilities. In the TvR score, the number of aircraft, quality of equipment, and diversity of the fleet, among other factors, are taken into account.
China's loss to India in the rankings did not go down well with Chinese netizens. The excuses to discredit the rankings ranged from WDMMA having inadequate information about China, to citing India's dependence on foreign imports, as per a report in the EurAsian Times.
Chinese articles slamming the rankings also attacked the Tejas, the light combat aircraft manufactured by Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd, or HAL.

It's hot, it's windy, it's rainy and then it's cold. What is up with the weather in India?
Assam is experiencing a devastating that has left over 7 lakh affected. Two dams in Kerala were opened as the waters reached alarm levels while normal life was affected in several districts of the coastal state.
North India, meanwhile, witnessed punishing heat with temperatures lingering around 45 degrees celsius in many states mid-March onwards.
Then, one Monday morning, rains hit, leaving trees uprooted, and delaying over a hundred flights.
All this before the beginning of the official monsoon season. 
While the overall change in climate can be pegged to the phenomenon, the rains have been attributed to unusually heavy pre-monsoon showers. According to experts, climate change accounts for more and more concentrated rain and heavy episodes of rainfall. 
Researchers are now investigating how much human-caused climate change contributed to the extreme weather episodes. But scientists have long warned that more frequent and more extreme heatwaves are some of the most direct consequences of rising global average temperatures.
Climate change is already rendering parts of the world unlivable, and in South Asia, survival now depends on artificial cooling. That cooling demands power. 
To find a solution to the problem, India will need to move away from coal and find a greener alternative, according to experts.
