Lucknow: A physics teacher at Shri Ram Champa Devi Saraswati Vidya Mandir Inter College in Sitapur was booked for assaulting a class 12 student on Wednesday. Police registered a case against the teacher, identified as Yashveer Singh, under the charges of causing hurt and slapped the SC/ST Act following a complaint by the student. Police, quoting the complainant, said that the teacher slapped the teenager multiple times during a physics class, leading to hearing impairment for which the student is now being treated.
According to the student, the incident occurred on Dec 5, 2024, during a physics class conducted by teacher Yashveer Singh, a resident of Master Colony, Biswan. He claims that when he was unable to answer a question, the teacher slapped him multiple times on the ear, resulting in hearing difficulties and severe pain. He suffered hearing impairment and has been under treatment since then.
The teacher allegedly made caste-based remarks, addressing him as ‘Pasi' and stating a strong hatred for the community, before expelling him from the classroom. When the student's family approached the teacher to address the issue, the teacher reportedly dismissed their concerns, saying, "Do whatever you want."
The student earlier filed a complaint at the Biswan police station but has now escalated the matter, seeking justice and appropriate action against the teacher. SHO Biswa, TP Singh said that based on the complaint of the student, an FIR under the charges of BNS 352 (provoke breach of peace), 115 (2) (voluntarily causing hurt) along with sections of the ST/SC Act have been slapped against Yashveer and a probe is being conducted.
