According to the child's parents, the child returned home in distress; the family members saw the injuries and went to the hospital. The parents contacted the police and filed a complaint against the teacher.
According to the complaint, police registered a case and initiated an investigation. Police are interviewing the child’s family, school staff and other witnesses. Medical examination reports will also be part of the investigation.
Police officials said the allegations are being investigated thoroughly and appropriate legal action will be taken based on the evidence gathered during the probe. The teacher's case is still being investigated, and no other details regarding the accused's response have been disclosed so far.
The incident has raised serious questions about child safety and disciplinary practices in educational institutions. Child rights advocates have said child rights are very clear: corporal punishment and any form of physical or psychological abuse of children is against the law and that it is damaging and can have lasting emotional and physical adverse effects.
Schools are to be safe and supportive for children, they say, particularly those in nursery and primary classes, where accidental incidents like wetting clothes are not uncommon.
It also led to calls for closer monitoring of schools and better training of teachers on child protection laws and positive discipline policies.
Officials will continue to look at the medical evidence, witness statements, and other evidence and will also review all facts to determine if the claims are true, and take legal action if necessary. If they are true, the accused teacher could be prosecuted under the relevant provisions of the law.
The incident has shocked the local community, and many hope that the investigation will be conducted swiftly and fairly. Parents and child welfare organizations have called for accountability and stronger safeguards to ensure that educational institutions remain safe spaces for children.
Police said they would ask the public not to speculate while the investigation was ongoing and assured that the matter would be resolved in line with the law.
