A Class 6 student in Uttar Pradesh's Kaushambi has lost vision in the left eye after his teacher hit him with a stick. The child, Aditya Kushwaha, has been operated upon twice, but the eye has not recovered. His mother has now approached the district child welfare committee for justice. Police have now registered a case against the teacher, Shailendra Tiwari, and an investigation is underway.
Narrating the March 9 incident, the child said the teacher had asked him to call some students playing outside. "I called them, but they did not come. I told Sir. He got angry and hit me with a stick. After I was hurt, he took me for treatment. They put some eyedrops and made me lie down in the class. The classmates informed my mother. I can't see with my left eye," the child said.
Aditya's mother Srimati said her son is a student in a government-run school in Newari. "The teacher threw a stick at him. It hit him on the eye and it started bleeding. We went to the police, but they did not register a complaint. The matter was probed after the education department intervened," she said.
