A video of a teacher at Neha Public School in Uttar Pradesh’s Muzaffarnagar encouraging Hindu kids to slap a Muslim kid went viral, with many demanding action against the teacher who was identified as Tripta Tyagi.
“I have declared jitne bhi Mohammedan (Muslim) bachhe hai…” the teacher said on the camera encouraging Hindu students to thrash a Muslim kid in the class.
In the video, one kid thrashed a Muslim kid, while the Muslim kid was crying. “Aey kya tum maar rahe ho iske.. jor se maaro naa…chalo aur kiska number hai,(What are you doing? Why are you not beating him harder)” the teacher was heard saying asking the students to give a good beating to the Muslim kid.
Another kid then came and thrashed the Muslim kid when the teacher asked him to beat on his waist too.
“The station in-charge of Mansoorpur has been directed to investigate and take necessary action,” the X handle of Muzaffarnagar Police posted.
Neha Public school is in the Khubbapur village in Muzaffarnagar.
However, the Muslim kid’s father reportedly said he did not wish to file a complaint against Tyagi because he did not believe their would scope of justice.
Meanwhile, National Commission for Protection Of Child Rights (NCPCR) chairperson, Priyanka Kanoongo wrote on X (Formerly Twitter), “We are beginning the investigation in this case. It is a humble request for everyone’ to not share the video of the child being beaten. Share information about such incidents over email. Don’t commit the crime of identifying the child.
