Lucknow: A strong appeal has been made to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath to arrest and prosecute Tripta Tyagi, a teacher of Neha Public School in Muzaffarnagar's in Khabbarpur village, who is seen in a viral video asking kids to slap a Muslim student.
"This is a heinous crime, not a mistake", Congress National Spokesperson Supriya Shrinate said demanding Tyagi's arrest.
"Tripta Tyagi should be immediately arrested as her only place is in jail. Her's is a heinous crime, not a mistake", she said.
In a video that surfaced on social media Friday, Tripta Tyagi is seen arrogantly sitting on a chair in a classroom and calling students one by one and asking them to slap a Muslim classmate.
"Kya kar rehe ho tum. Zor se maro na. (What are you doing? Can't you slap him a bit harder?)", Tyagi is seen telling a student.
In one instance, she also asked one of the students to "hit him on his waist" after he had already slapped the Muslim student on his face.
"I have declared jitne bhi Mohammedan bachhe hai..." the teacher was caught saying on camera while she called the rest of the class one after the other to take turns hitting the Muslim student.
