The Students’ Federation of India (SFI) and Progressive Democratic Students Union (PDSU) staged angry protests outside the Akshara Residential school in Garladinne on Friday demanding action against a teacher for allegedly assaulting a student.
The protests came in the wake of a teacher allegedly thrashing a student for not wearing his uniform.
The student suffered a fracture in his middle and ring fingers as a result of the assault.
Meanwhile, the boy’s parents filed a complaint with the Garladinne police and the local tahsildar’s office. Police told The Hindu that a FIR has been registered under the Juvenile Justice Act and Section 324 — voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means.
The teacher, Ramakrishna Reddy, allegedly thrashed the boy with a cane after the boy wore a T-shirt to school as his uniform was not delivered to him by the washerman in time for school.
