Hyderabad: Authorities
in Andhra Pradesh have launched an investigation into allegations
that a teacher in a private school allegedly made a five-year-old
student drink urine.
An official of the education department at Anaparthy 'mandal'
(block) in East Godavari district of coastal Andhra region began a
probe into the incident amid contradictory versions over what
happened at the Satyabhama Primary School.
District education officer (DEO) Srinivasa Reddy said he had asked
block education officer Somi Reddy to conduct an inquiry and
submit a report.
Police said Gummadi Satya Gowri, who allegedly made the student
drink urine, remained at large.
On a petition by a NGO AP Balala Hakkula Sangham, the state human
rights commission also ordered an inquiry into the incident, which
took place Wednesday but came to light Thursday.
Anjaneya Reddy's parents Surya Reddy and Ganga Maheswari alleged
that the teacher made their son, a Class 1 student, drink urine.
He along with three of his class mates had urinated in a tumbler
and kept it in a corner of their classroom. On learning about
this, the teacher reprimanded the students, who put the blame on
Anjaneya Reddy.
The teacher then allegedly forced the boy to drink the urine. When
he resisted, she asked the other students to hold him.
Police said the boy changed his version later to say that the
teacher made other boys throw urine on him. The police began
investigations on a complaint by the boy's parents.
The incident triggered an outcry with parents demanding strong
action against the school management.
School authorities claimed that some boys urinated in a tumbler
and threw it on each other.
Similar incidents were reported from West Bengal and Tamil Nadu
earlier this year. A Class 5 girl was allegedly forced to drink
her urine by the hostel warden in a school in West Bengal in July.
In the second incident, a 14-year-old student in Tamil Nadu was
also forced to drink his own urine by three teachers.
