In a shocking case of corporal punishment, a class-IV student was kept in chains at Nushrat Ali Islamic Madrasa in Haryana allegedly for not completing his homework.
The boy was rescued by the police after his father lodged a complaint and demanded stern action against the teachers.
Preliminary inquiry revealed that the student was chained to prevent him from bunking classes on a regular basis. The Madrasa teachers claimed that his son fled home from the Madrasa on Monday without completing his school work and that’s why he had been chained as a disciplinary action.
"We did it to stop him from fleeing home during school hours," teachers reportedly told the police.
The police registered a case against two teachers of the madrasa including Sabir and Mubarak under various Sections of the IPC, including 506 (threatening to life) and the Juvenile Justice Act.
No one has been arrested so far.
Meanwhile, the chairperson of district child welfare committee Satpal Kaur has formed a team to probe the incident.
