Ghatsila sub-divisional officer (SDO) has ordered an inquiry into an alleged incident of corporal punishment at a private school where a class-1 girl student got her chin and teeth broken after she was made to stand on bench for one-and-a-half hours by her class teacher.
The incident allegedly happened three days ago.
In a complaint with the Ghatsila SDO on Monday, the six-year-old girl’s father alleged that his daughter fainted after her class teacher forced her to stand for hours on bench.
“I have formed a team comprising block development officer (BDO) and block education extension officer (BEEO) to inquire into the incident. They went to the school on Tuesday and will submit their report in a day or two. They will also examine the medical report of the victim,” Ghatsila SDO Amar Kumar said on Tuesday.
