A schoolteacher in Kathlal town of Kheda district has been booked for allegedly beating up seven students, including five girls, of a primary school reportedly in an inebriated condition.
Kathlal police said they are gathering evidence against the teacher, Pravin Zala, who is allegedly absconding.
The incident took place on Monday. After the students complained to their parents about the punishment, six of them were taken to the Civil Hospital in Nadiad on Tuesday for treatment.
On the basis of a complaint filed by Vishnu Chauhan, whose son was among the seven students, the police booked the teacher under sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 504 (intentional insult) of the Indian
Penal Code. "We have registered a non-cognisable offence against the teacher and we are collecting evidence in the incident. Efforts are on to arrest him," said sub-inspector J V Rathod.
