This is shocking!

What do teachers think of themselves? Do these jerks think that the school is their kingdom and everybody their subject? Look at this…

Seventeen-year-old Arpit Kanwariya’s invigilator — a Sanskrit teacher named Indira Samar — beat him with a bamboo stick for keeping his ‘legs out of the desk’ while writing a test on July 26.

…

Arpit’s parents say he was hospitalised after he came back bruised from the school on July 26, where he underwent treatment till Wednesday night.

Says Arpit’s father, Sampat Kanwariya, “He said he had fever. He didn’t tell us what had happened. There was a small clinic. We took him there thinking he would be okay, but even he didn’t know that there was an internal injury. Then on Wednesday we brought him to the orthopaedic department of this hospital and they told us it was a case of surgery. Then we came to know he had an internal infection and he died at around 5 am.”

Since when keeping your legs out of the desk became a crime? And who gives the authority to the teachers to hit students? I don’t think corporal punishment is at all necessary to “discipline” students.

The teacher is rightly charged with murder. I hope Arpit’s parents do not give up and make sure that justice is delivered.
