Maharashtra: Student beaten up by teacher for not providing Aadhaar details

The parents said that he boy was admitted in a private hospital from October 6 to October 15 where he had to undergo a surgery after he was hit by the teacher.

A case in which a boy was beaten up by his school teacher for allegedly not providing his Aadhaar details has been reported from the Chinchwad area of Maharashtra.

The police who were informed about the incident are probing the matter. It was alleged that a ten year old student was brutally beaten after he failed to provide his Aadhaar details. The student had to undergo a surgery after he was allegedly beaten on the knee.

Police have slapped charges of voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means under section 324, and relevant sections of Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act 2015 against the teacher identified as Kharat (full name is not known).

According to the parents of the student, they still do not know why the teacher had asked for the Aadhaar details from their son. Sangeeta Belle, the mother of the boy said, "As per my knowledge, the school was planning to come up with a mobile application to send circulars and other notifications to parents. I think that they required the Aadhaar details of students for that application. However, there was no need to hit our son so badly."

The parents said that he boy was admitted in a private hospital from October 6 to October 15 where he had to undergo a surgery after he was hit by the teacher. "He was very scared to even tell us about the incident. He was facing difficulty in walking and we had to take him to a doctor for treatment. After he was admitted in the hospital for the surgery, that time he narrated the whole incident to us and we were in deep shock," Belle said.

After the boy was discharged from the hospital, the parents decided to approach the police and lodge the complaint against the teacher.
