Both of them were students of Class IV ‘Appropriate action will be taken against the guilty’ NEW DELHI: Two Class IV students of a Delhi municipal school were injured after they were allegedly beaten up by their teacher at Narela here on Thursday. The teacher Pradeep Kumar has been arrested. A case has been registered against him under Sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 341 (wrongful restraint) of the Indian Penal Code.
According to the police, the incident took place around noon when some Class IV students of a primary school, run by the Municipal Corporation of Delhiat Metro Vihar, were making noise in their classroom. “The students refused to calm down despite repeated requests by the teachers. An angry Pradeep Kumar then stormed into the classroom and started beating them up. He slapped one student and his forehead hit the door bolt. The student began bleeding. Another student was also given a severe beating and he suffered bruises on his face,” said a senior police officer. Both the students were taken to the Raja Harish Chander Hospital and were discharged after medical aid. One student received four stitches on his forehead. The parents of both the victims are casual labourers and reside in a nearby slum. The MCD Education Department has instituted an inquiry into the matter. “I have asked the Deputy Education Officer concerned to inquire into the matter and present a detailed report to me. It will not be proper for me to comment on the matter at this point in time, but appropriate action will be taken against the guilty. Corporal punishment is unacceptable and we have told our teachers on several occasions about it,” said B. Dass, MCD director (Education).
