The reason behind the incident is unknown, police said.

After the incident, the accused fled the spot. Police have launched a manhunt to catch him.

Last week, a similar occurrence was reported at a Delhi school. The instructor, in a fit of fury, had assaulted a pupil of Class 5 with scissors and hurled her from the first story of a government school building, news agency PTI reported. The attack occurred during the craft class.

The class teacher has been identified as Geeta Deshwal, police said.

"The teacher, Geeta Rani (appointed in 2019) has been detained by the police. MCD has also suspended the teacher with immediate effect. Further investigation in the matter is being done and a departmental inquiry will be conducted expeditiously," a senior MCD official told PTI.

Later, parents of many students gathered outside the school and lodged protest. Papers, books and bags lay scattered in the classroom as students ran out of it out of fear, as the teacher allegedly even threatened to harm some of them, police said.
