Bengaluru: Tutor held for beating student with iron pipe

BENGALURU: A 35-year-old tutor was arrested on charges of beating a class 10 student with an iron pipe and injuring his head at his coaching centre near Yelahanka recently.
The accused, Vijay Kumar, was arrested under Juvenile Justice Act and section 324 of IPC (voluntarily causing hurt). Kumar was later released on station bail.
According to the 15-year-old boy's mother, Kumar beat up her son on August 6. "The accused hit my son on the head with an iron pipe around 5.30pm, causing a deep injury. In spite of my son bleeding, Vijay kept him inside the tutorial till 8.30pm. He didn't alert us about the injury. After learning about it, we questioned him and he abused us," she said in her complaint.
The accused said: "Their classes were over by 5pm and I asked them to go home and not stand outside. Yet, some boys were seen loitering outside the centre. When I asked what they were doing, they replied in an arrogant manner. I wanted to threaten the boys by swaying the iron rod but never intended to beat them," he said. tnn
