Teen injures by falling in toilet but rumour mills blow it up

CHENNAI: Ishikanth (16), a Class 11 student, was injured after he slipped in the toilet of the private school in Kancheepuram on Monday. On Monday evening, Ishikanth’s parents received a phone call from the school that their son was injured and asked them to visit the school immediately. Meanwhile, rumours spread that he had fallen from the second floor and was in a critical condition. Later, it was found that the boy had slipped in the toilet and injured himself.
