Bengaluru school teacher booked for assaulting class 2 student who failed answering math question

Bengaluru: A woman teacher at a private school in Doddanagamangala was booked for allegedly assaulting a seven-year-old boy after he failed to answer a mathematics question on Saturday.

The incident came to light after the child’s parents noticed a bruise on the side of his face and approached the Parappana Agrahara police on March 5.

According to the complaint, the teacher allegedly lost her cool when the Class 2 student struggled with a math problem. She reportedly slapped the child and pinched his ear with such force that it left a visible injury on his face.

The parents, shocked by the physical marks on their son, approached the police.

Following the complaint, the Parappana Agrahara police registered a case against the teacher. Police said that both parties, the parents and the teacher, were summoned to the station.

"Both parties later reached a compromise at the station," a senior police officer stated.
