Mathura (UP), May 16 (PTI) At least two children were allegedly subjected to corporal punishment by a teacher at a private school here, prompting the education department to order an inquiry, officials said on Saturday.
According to a complaint submitted to the District Education Officer, the complainant’s son and nephew, Class 3 students of Sri BrijDham Public School in Govardhan, were punished by a teacher, Surendra, after the children failed to answer questions to his satisfaction.
The complainant alleged that the teacher made the children stand in the sun, stripped them naked and forced them to squat and walk in that position.
He further alleged that the teacher beat the children with a plastic pipe whenever they stopped.
Basic Education Officer Ratan Kirti told PTI that a notice has been served in connection with the incident, and a three-member team has been constituted to conduct an inquiry and submit its report within three days. PTI COR CDN APL APL
