Visakhapatnam, Jan (IANS) A video of students of a government-run high school consuming liquor in Andhra Pradesh has surfaced.

A group of students of 6th, 7th and 10th standards reportedly escaped from their hostel to celebrate New Year. The incident took place in Chodavaram town in Anakapalle district on the night of December 31, but the video surfaced three days later.

In the video, the boys could be seen enjoying their food with beer bottles kept in front of them. Some of them could be heard warning the person filming the video.
