A schoolteacher in Maharashtra's Thane district has been booked for allegedly slapping an 11-year-old student inside a classroom, according to a police official. The incident reportedly took place on January 13 at a school located in the Bhiwandi area.


As per PTI reports, the accused teacher, identified as Saif Iqbal Ansari, is said to have assaulted the minor after the child approached a classmate to retrieve a book. The alleged act of physical aggression was brought to light after the boy’s parents filed a formal complaint with the police.


The official from Bhiwandi town police station stated that Ansari has been charged under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for voluntarily causing hurt and provisions of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act. The case was officially registered on January 17, following an investigation into the allegations made by the parents.


According to the complaint, the child had walked up to a peer to take a book, which prompted the teacher to react violently. The parents, deeply distressed by the incident, took the matter to the authorities, seeking justice for their son.

Thane: Ambernath teacher booked for beating up minor student

An official on Sunday said that the police have registered a case against a woman Ambernath teacher in Maharashtra's Thane district for allegedly beating up a seven-year-old student after he was unable to properly read an English word in her class, reported news agency PTI.

The incident took place at a private school located in the Ambernath area on November 28.
