In a spine-chilling incident that has raised serious questions about student safety in schools, a teacher reportedly broke the finger of a 10-year-old girl for making a minor mistake in a mathematics problem. The incident has sparked massive outrage among parents and social media users, calling for immediate and strict action against the perpetrator.

The incident occurred during school hours when the Class 4 student was asked to solve a math equation on the blackboard. When she failed to provide the correct answer, the teacher allegedly lost her temper and twisted the child’s hand with such force that her finger snapped. The little girl was left screaming in agony while other students watched in horror.

Immediate Aftermath: The victim was rushed to a nearby medical facility where X-rays confirmed a severe fracture. Following the incident, agitated parents gathered at the school premises, demanding the immediate suspension of the teacher. “We send our children to school to learn, not to be physically assaulted. This is criminal behavior,” said a grieving parent.

Legal Action and Investigation: A formal police complaint has been lodged against the teacher under relevant sections of the IPC and the Juvenile Justice Act. While ‘Corporal Punishment’ is strictly banned in India, such incidents continue to highlight the dark reality of physical abuse in educational institutions. The school board has initiated an internal inquiry, promising transparency and justice for the child.
