Pathanamthitta: Four class 10 students in Pathanamthitta district will receive counselling after liquor bottles were found in their possession, police said on Thursday.
The incident occurred at a school in Kozhencherry, near here, where the students allegedly brought alcohol on Wednesday to celebrate the conclusion of their final exams.
Growing suspicious of the students' activities, teachers checked their bags, seized liquor from one of them, and informed the police.
