Teacher booked for hitting KG student

Warangal, April 6: A private school teacher was booked for hitting a kindergarten student at Subedari in Hanamkonda on Thursday. The student suffered bleeding injuries on his head and his wounds had to be sutured.

The incident took place at St Mary's School at Julywada.

Angered over his bad handwriting, the teacher, Uma, hit Hemant on his head with a pen. When blood started oozing from his head, the teacher panicked and rushed to principal Daniel's room. The boy was taken to a private hospital where the doctors treated him.

As soon as the word spread around, student unions and parents reached the school and shouted slogans demanding action against the teacher. They demanded that the authorities derecognize the school.

Based on the complaint from the parents, a case was registered against the teacher under section 324 of the IPC, said SI Srinivas. Sources said the principal later talked to the parents and convinced them to withdraw the complaint.
