Indian American student choked by peer receives harsher punishment than his bully

In a video circulating online, Shaan Pritmani can be seen being assaulted and choked by a white student in the cafeteria of Coppell Middle School in Texas on May 11.
The video begins with the aggressor choking Shaan with his right arm before demanding him to stand up from his seat.
“No, I’m not getting up,” Shaan replies. “There is literally no one sitting here.”
The student then presses his elbow on Shaan’s neck from behind before choking him once again while dragging him away from the seat. Other students surrounding the two can be heard cheering.
Shaan’s parents were contacted by the school and informed that their son had been involved in an altercation with another student. The school allegedly found Shaan to be at fault. He received a 3-day in-school suspension as punishment, while the aggressor only received one day.
When his parents requested for a reassessment using the viral video as evidence, the school said that there will be no changes made. The School Resource Officer refused to file a citation because the school administration allegedly asked that the incident not be documented as there have already been many bullying complaints.
“Coppell ISD is aware of a video circulating on social media showing an incident at Coppell Middle School North involving a physical altercation between two students,” Coppell School Superintendent Dr. Brad Hunt wrote in an email. “Bullying, both verbal and physical, as well as physical acts of aggression are never acceptable and do not align with who we are at CISD and our core values.”
Sonika Kukreja, Shaan’s mother, started a petition on Change.org to spread awareness and to call on the school to take more action against her son’s aggressor. The petition has since gathered nearly 244,000 signatures, as of this writing. It will become one of the top petitions on Change.org if it reaches 300,000 signatures.

I feel like I need more information here. Or at least the reasoning behind saying the physically-attacked kid was at fault.

Did you watch the video in the link? It seems pretty clear to me who is at fault.

Has the school posted why the discrepancy in suspensions? Hell, why was the Indian kid suspended at all?

Is this a "racial issue" or is the news running with it because it was a white kid being the bully?

So the allegation is that the long haired kid’s dad is on the BOT for the ISD? Has that been confirmed?

I hadn't, but I did watch it now, and it's exactly as described in the article. What I'm saying is that I'd need to know why the school concluded he was at fault.

GD, was that little shite trying to seriously injure the kid's neck or spine? 3 areas. Twist rhe neck, elbow to the base of the skull and then trying to shove his spine through his bellybutton while on the ground. That kid needs a belt.

Then as a parent I would've marched my arse down and filed charges against the kid. And filed an EPO as well.
Kentucky has actual bullying legislation on file that allows parents to file a report independent of the school. Curious if Texas has something similar on the books.

Yeah if something like that happened to my kid and the school refused to document it, I'd raise all kinds of hell.

Even if the school did concoct some type of rationale it would be baseless and false so why would it even matter? Unless it's just to document the school is materially covering up their misdeeds.

Technically that’s not Bollywood. Bollywood is for Hindi movies. That’s probably Tollywood which are movies from a certain southern region of India and the language is Tamil not Hindi. I think a lot of the “Bollywood” clips people see are not from Bollywood

The alleged bully apparently already has a lawyer who is claiming the bullied kid had made threats against the long haired kid’s little brother. I didn’t see anything suggesting that happened or was the reason the incident happened in the video.
