I spoke to the headmistress of the school on Tuesday morning, who said he was given the punishment for tearing off a page from classmates’ book,” said Bharat.

The headmistress said: “We impart education free-of-cost to these kids and most of them are not quite disciplined. Occasionally, teachers do pat them or punish them. We will issue a warning to the teacher.” the headmistress said. — TNS
