7-year-old beaten to death by Principal

Date:

Bareilly: In a gruesome incident in Akhilesh Yadav’s Uttar Pradesh, a 7-year-old upper KG student was beaten to death by the school Principal in Bareilly after the child’s parents delayed paying the school fees. The Principal, Avinash Saraswat, then reportedly flung the body on the highway.

Reportedly, the child’s parents had not been able to pay Rs 4,500 that was due to the DSR Public School. The severely wounded boy was rushed to hospital by the school management, where doctors confirmed he was dead.

The boy’s father, Nasim Ahmad, a resident of Jahanabad, said Saraswat banged the boy’s head against the wall. The boy’s elder sister Zeenam and brother Azam are in the same school.

Angry family members and local people went on a rampage soon after news of the boy’s death spread, assaulting school staff. Police have lodged an FIR against the principal and the school manager, Harish Rathor.

Family and local residents were enraged that how could the principal and school manager leave the child’s body on the highway. People blocked the Bareilly-Nainital highway in protest, beat up school staff and damaged property in the school premises.

Police intervened to restore order. A case was filed, and the body was sent for post-mortem examination.

Union minister for women and child welfare and Pilibhit MP Maneka Gandhi said, “The school principal should be immediately arrested. The administration should crack the whip against such schools which are so insensitive to children. I will personally instruct local authorities to take stringent measures to ensure that such things do not take place in future.”

SP (Rural) Brijesh Srivastava said, “We have lodged a case against the school principal and manager. Investigations are on. If they are found guilty, strict action will be taken against them.”
