Muzaffarpur, September 20: A disturbing video has gone viral on social media, showing a young girl in distress after being severely beaten by her teacher at Deja Vu School in Muzaffarpur, Bihar. The incident reportedly occurred after the teacher accused the student of cheating during an exam, despite her claims that no examination took place that day.
In the footage, visible red marks are seen on the girl’s hands as she cries out in pain, while bystanders attempt to comfort her. The teacher, when confronted, admitted to hitting the student but downplayed the severity, stating, “I only hit her a little.”
The lack of an official statement from the school regarding this incident has raised serious concerns about the safety and treatment of students within educational institutions.
This incident is not isolated; a similar case has emerged from Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, where a seventh-grade student was reportedly beaten by a teacher, leaving bruises on his body. The student’s father has filed a complaint against the teacher, demanding action.
In another alarming case, a six-year-old boy died in Visakhapatnam after being struck by a teacher, with reports suggesting that the child suffered a heart attack due to the trauma.
These incidents highlight the urgent need for stricter enforcement of the Right to Education Act, 2009, which outlines clear regulations regarding the treatment of students in schools.
