She dies for failure to recite the alphabet New Delhi, April 17 There were conflicting reports about the reason though. While some reports claimed that the girl student was given the punishment for her failure to recite the English alphabet, other reports claimed she had not done her homework. A few officials of the Education Department of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi claimed that the girl was detained because of poor attendance. An inquiry was ordered and the principal of the MCD Girls’ Primary School, Bawana in north Delhi and the teacher concerned, a lady by the name of Manju, were placed under suspension. A case under Section 304-A of the IPC was also registered against the teacher, said Atul Katiyar, DCP (Outer Delhi). The shocked father of the girl, Ayub Khan, could only mumble, “Arrest the teacher or hang her but my bachchi will never return”. Even as MCD officials claimed that the girl was a patient of epilepsy, the Delhi Mayor announced compensation of Rs. 50,000 and ordered the termination of services of the teacher.
