Kumar alleged the duo asked him to keep a measuring scale in the pocket of a girl student's trousers while she was passing besides them in the college premises yesterday but when he did not comply, the seniors picked up a quarrel and beat him up resulting in injuries in right-eye, Medchal Inspector of Police V Yadagiri Reddy, who is investigating the case, told PTI.
