A 13-year-old Class 10 student was allegedly beaten by a teacher at PM Shri Government Inter College in Uttar Pradesh, with a video of the assault circulating widely on social media. The student, identified as Sagar, sustained injuries in the incident.
The student's family has filed a police complaint demanding action against the teacher. The principal and police have both launched investigations into the matter.
Indian Opinion Analysis
This case adds to a pattern of corporal punishment in Uttar Pradesh schools despite a 2009 Supreme Court ruling that banned physical punishment and mental harassment under the Right to Education Act. The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights has repeatedly flagged such incidents. What will be watched is whether the teacher is suspended pending inquiry and if the state education department enforces the mandatory counselling and training for staff that the law requires.
