Unable to pay ₹250 fees: Class 3 student dies after being beaten by teacher in UP

A Class 3 student from Uttar Pradesh’s Shravasti district died on Wednesday, nine days after he was allegedly beaten by his school teacher.

The student, Brijesh Prasad, who was allegedly beaten by his school teacher Anupam Pathak on August 8, died at a hospital in the town of Bahraich on August 17.

In a video, a relative of the child said that he was killed as he was unable to pay fees of Rs 250.

After the child’s uncle Shivkumar Lal filed a complaint, the police arrested Pathak from his home on Friday.

The police have filed a first information report under Sections 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code.

On Thursday, the child’s family members and residents of the area held a protest in front of the school. They also blocked a road in the area in protest, demanding the immediate arrest of the accused.
