Raebareli: A 10th-grade student at a private school in Raebareli, Uttar Pradesh, was severely injured, including a broken tooth, after being violently beaten by his teacher for failing to complete his homework, according to police reports.
The incident occurred when the teacher, identified as Mohammed Asif, teaching science subjects, interrogated the student about unfinished assignments upon returning to school after the summer break.

Police subsequently arrested Mohammed Asif, who had fled the scene, and initiated an investigation into the matter. The father of the student filed a complaint detailing the severity of the incident, prompting both police action and an internal inquiry by the school administration.
The victim’s family expressed deep concern over the incident, highlighting the need for justice and ensuring the safety of students within educational institutions.
