Teacher beats child, booked

Hyderabad: A maths teacher of a private school at Chaderghat allegedly beat a nine-year-old class IV student for not completing the homework. The student alleged that the teacher hit her on her cheeks, leaving her in severe pain for two days.

Chaderghat additional inspector V. Bal Gopal said police had registered a case and  started an investigation. The student along with her father lodged a complaint with the police on Monday. She told them that she was unwell and could not complete the homework given by her maths teacher.

“Though I was sick and only one page of the homework was pending, I was beaten badly. Even after telling that I was sick, the teacher did not spare me,” she told police.

Her father added that the school had delayed in issuing books for a long time. “But when my daughter was unwell and could not complete the homework, the teacher beat her badly. The child is suffering from pain for two days now,” he said.
