A teacher in a Christian Missionary School in the Ballia district of Uttar Pradesh allegedly slapped a Class 4 student so hard that she fell unconscious and later died due to internal hemorrhage.

According to the FIR lodged by the father, Santosh, his daughter was slapped by her teacher, one Rajni Updhyaya, for failing to answer a question on Tuesday. “She fell unconscious after being hit by the teacher and we rushed her to the medical college in BHU Varanasi,” said Santosh.

“A CT Scan was done and doctors told me that she suffered a fatal head injury and there was internal bleeding. She succumbed to the injury on Wednesday. They killed my daughter,” alleged Santosh.

Ballia SP Anil Kumar said that based on the father’s complaint, the erring teacher has been detained and action against the school will be initiated after investigation.

On the other hand, the school management has claimed that the student had a history of fits. “On Tuesday, she fell conscious after a fit and we called the parents and rushed her for treatment. I did not slap or touch her. The police may verify this with other students of the class,” claimed Rajni, the teacher accused of hitting the victim.
