Teacher suspended for putting adhesive tape on mouths of 2 students

Gurugram, December 8

A woman teacher of a private school here was suspended for allegedly putting adhesive tape across the mouths of two LKG children to keep them quiet during a class, school authorities said on Saturday.

A video of the incident, that took place in October, has surfaced on social media.

In the video, the teacher is purportedly seen putting adhesive tape across the mouths of two four-year-olds--a boy and a girl --during the class.

Based on a complaint by the parents of the two students, the school management immediately suspended the teacher.

“On the complaint of students’ parents, we had taken strict action and suspended the teacher,” Gururaj, the principal, said.

The woman teacher claimed that the students were disturbing the class and they sometimes used filthy language. PTI
