MENDHAR, May 14: In an act of brutality and crossing all limits of corporal punishment, a Government school teacher displaying a revengeful attitude, severely beat up an 8th class student at Sakhi Maidan in Mendhar tehsil of district Poonch today.
The boy identified as Altaf Hussain, son of Khaliq Hussain, is the student of Govt Middle School, Sakhi Maidan and belonged to the nearby hamlet. He was beaten up so mercilessly with the strong stick that the minor boy developed fracture at three places on the left arm and was later removed to Sub-District Hospital Mendhar by the parents and relatives. Dr Tariq Ahmed attending upon the boy told the family that boy got fracture at three places on the arm. The doctor applied plaster and provided treatment. A Medico Legal Case (Under MLC No. 1654/13 ) was made and forwarded to the Police Station Mendhar for further action by the Medical Officer concerned.
The only fault of this little boy was his refusal to work at the house of teacher Ali Hussain Shah, which was under construction. His father too, did not oblige the Govt teacher for this favour. Displaying this revengeful attitude, the teacher then picked up a strong stick and asked the boy to keep standing in the open in ‘Murga’ posture in the ground. After this he started beating up the boy in front of entire school staff and children.
The parents and relatives after providing treatment to the child then lodged a written complaint to the Police Station Mendhar. They also lodged a complaint with the SDM Mendhar and Dy Chief Education Officer against the teacher. No action has been taken so far against the teacher by the Administration.
Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Mendhar Shafiq Ahmed when contacted said that he will initiate an inquiry into the matter and the action will be taken against the teacher as per law of the land.
