The Hindu student’s father on 27 September complained to the school administration and the police. According to a report by Times of India, the father in his complaint has alleged that the incident also had a religious angle. The police have arrested the teacher, Shaista, and have started the investigation.
ASP Shreeshchandra said that the police have taken action against the accused teacher in the case. The allegations of the child’s father are quite serious. The police arrested the accused teacher as soon as they received instructions from SP Kuldeep Singh Gunawat.
Along with this, the school principal, Semina has suspended the accused teacher from the school. Shaista is booked under Sections 153A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, etc) and 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) under the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
In August, a viral video showed a teacher in UP’s Muzaffarnagar getting a Muslim student slapped by other students. The incident was from Neha Public School in Khubbapur village. The accused teacher is named Tripta Tyagi. She had also made a reference to ‘Mohammedan students.’
However, the family of the student who was beaten and the teacher denied any communal angle to the incident which was amplified as such by the left-Islamist ecosystem on social media. The school has since been shut as it did not meet the required standards to operate.
