JAMMU, May 9: Due to the arbitrariness of private schools, a case of thrashing Manish Mangotra, a student of class IV in Shaffran Nightingale Public School, Rajindra Pura, has come to the fore. The child’s father Ravi Kumar Mangotra told that the teacher thrashed the child badly for a spelling mistake in a word in the class. He said that after this the medical examination of the child was done and a complaint was lodged at Vijaypur police station.
Addressing a press conference in Jammu, President of Parents Association Jammu, Amit Kapoor strongly condemned this and warned the school management to take action against such teachers. He said that by law no one can touch a child in school but beating a child in this manner is a serious crime and strict action should be taken against the teacher responsible for it.
He also strongly condemned the Station House Officer of Vijaypur Police Station for not registering the FIR. At the same time, he said that a complaint is registered against him for peaceful protest without investigation, but even after beating the child badly, the complaint is not registered by the police.
Slamming the director and other officials of the education department for the high-handedness being done by the private schools, Amit Kapoor said that despite providing all the evidence, the officials have failed to take action against the private schools. This clearly shows that these officers have a nexus with private schools. He warned the management of Shaffran Nightingale Public School Rajindra Pura that if it did not act against the teacher who beat up the child, he would protest strongly against it.
At the same time, he also demanded the Lieutenant Governor to take strict action against those who indulged in looting in private schools and committed excesses with children. At the same time, the parents of the child Ravi Kumar Mangotra were also present. He also explained the incident in detail.
