NEW DELHI – A 7-year-old Muslim girl, Khatoon, was allegedly beaten up severely by her teacher who was upset as the student took a long time in taking out her mathematics copy from her school bag.

The incident took place in the Belgadi Primary School of Shivnagar Didai area in Uttar Pradesh’s Siddhartnagar recently, media reports reaching here said on Friday.

The incident is a stark reminder of the brutality case of Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh wherein a private school teacher in Khubbapur village asked students of her class to slap their Muslim classmate.

In the latest case, Khatoon said the teacher, Shushma, had beaten her on her legs, abused her and warned her not to come to school again.

“I didn’t have my notebook, that’s why she beat me, she abused me and told me not to come to school,” Khatoon was quoted by the local media as saying.

In the Muzaffarnagar case, the teacher had referred to the child’s Muslim faith and made derogatory remarks about Muslim children. That incident caused ripples of criticism and protest against the unprofessional and vile behaviour of the school teacher.

Khatoon suffered visible grave injuries on both her legs, hindering her ability to walk.

The girl’s father, Amjad Hussain, told media how after coming back from school his daughter was crying in pain, had blue marks on her legs and was unable to sleep the whole night due to the excruciating pain. Next day, Hussain went to Didai Thana and filed a first information report (FIR) and sought strict action against the teacher.

“The teacher beat her for not having the books…she’s on leave now,” he said.

The Siddhartnagar police acknowledged the incident and are investigating the matter.
