Kanpur: The officials of the education department initiated a probe against a teacher for badly injuring a student.
This happened by piercing his forearm with a driller at the Sisamau area here.
The teacher had done this act as punishment to the Class 5 student. He was left writhing in excruciating pain.
The brutal punishment was meted out to Vivan, a student of Class 5, studying at Higher Primary School at Premnagar in Sisamau.
The punishment was given when he was unable to recite tables of 2.
The accused teacher while brandishing the driller tried to create a fear psychosis.
Later he used the device on the student's forearm leaving the victim badly injured.
Learning of the matter, Basic Education Officer Surjit Kumar Singh ordered a probe and told the official to submit the findings as early as possible.
On the other hand, during the investigation, it has come to light that instead of providing education to the children, they were reportedly asked to perform menial jobs such as brooming and cleaning work inside the school building.
"We will take action against the school teacher if he is found guilty. The teacher will be placed under suspension and also sent to jail," said the BSA.
