Lucknow: A school
teacher in Bhavsi village of Bulandshahr district in Uttar Pradesh
was Friday arrested and jailed under the stringent Dalit Act for
brutally caning an 11-year old boy for his refusal to wash the
school utensils.
According to an official, teacher Pradeep Sharma caned Deepak Dec
29 so badly on his knuckles that his finger got fractured.
The caning was for Deepak's refusal to wash the school utensils
that were used to serve the mid-day meal to schoolchildren.
The official said that a preliminary inquiry by a five-member team
of local government officials confirmed that the teacher used to
force the boy to wash used utensils every day.
Angry over Deepak's refusal, the teacher went on hitting his
knuckles until the little boy fell down crying.
Pradeep Sharma has been arrested and sent to jail, the official
said.
