A teacher in Karnataka faces allegations of assaulting a third-grade student, prompting police action and raising concerns about child safety in schools.
Kavitala, November 11 (Daily Kiran) : In a troubling incident in Kavitala, Karnataka, a madrasa teacher has been accused of brutally beating a third-grade student. The allegations surfaced after the child’s father lodged a complaint, stating that the teacher punished his son for not performing well academically.
The incident reportedly occurred at the Darul Huffaz madrasa, where the teacher, identified as Abbas, is alleged to have covered the child’s mouth and struck him. The assault left the student with injuries to his eye, abdomen, and shoulder.
According to the complaint, the boy’s parents enrolled him in the madrasa nearly two years ago. On November 8, during a visit, the father noticed that his son appeared distressed and in pain. When asked about his condition, the child revealed the ongoing abuse by the teacher.
The father confronted Abbas about the allegations, but the teacher reportedly responded with indifference, failing to provide a satisfactory explanation.
Concerned for his son’s well-being, the father approached the Kavitala police station to file a report, demanding action against the responsible individuals. Following his complaint, police registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Abbas, the headmaster, and four others involved in the incident.
The injured child has since been admitted to the Lingasugur Taluk Hospital for treatment. This incident has sparked serious concerns regarding child safety and the responsibility of educational institutions in ensuring a safe learning environment. As the police investigation unfolds, more details are expected to emerge.
