| Principal booked for "fracturing" student's arm | | | early times report
JAMMU, June 6: Police have registered a case against the principal of Yuva Shakti Day Boarding School at Gajansoo, about 18 km from here towards Marh, for fracturing the arm of a seven-year-old student during punishment.
Vasudev Sharma (7), a third grade student of the school, was allegedly thrashed by principal Shalinder Singh last week, which resulted in a fracture in his right arm, police sources said.
During preliminary investigations, it was learnt that the principal beat up Vasudev and locked him up. Police had registered a case against him under sections 323 (causing simple injury) and 342 (illegal captivity) of RPC, the sources added.
"Police are waiting for the X-ray report of the child. If it clarifies that the boy has a fracture in his arm, the accused can be tried under section 324 (assault resulting in fracture)," sources said. Meanwhile, the school authorities conceded that the boy was beaten up by Shalinder but denied the charge that he broke his arm during the punishment.
Vasudev used some foul words in the classroom and the teacher took him to the principal, who did punish him, but it was incorrect that he received any grievous injury, a school staffer said.
If that would have been the case he would not have been able to write his test paper, he added.
During investigation, the child told police that he was beaten by Shalinder, who later locked him inside a room in the school. "I said sorry to him but he did not stop beating me. He told me to bend like a cock and even kicked me. And then he locked me inside a room," Vasudev said.
Asked how he manged to write his test paper after being beaten, Vasudev said he wrote his paper before he was thrashed.
When contacted, school education director G A Qureshi said, "I have sought a complete report of the case. If found guilty, proper action will be taken against the school."
Zonal Education Officer of the area has visited the school and prepared a report of the incident, sources said.
