Mangaluru: The headmistress of Government Higher Primary School in Ajjinadka in Bantwal has been booked after she allegedly beaten up class four children for not doing homework on Friday.
The accused teacher identified as Sharada had mercilessly beaten up all children in the class for not completing their homework, inform sources. However, only one student lodged a complaint, based on which a case has been registered at Ullal police station, said the police.
According to Childline volunteers, the incident took place when Sharada was teaching children of fourth standard who mostly belong to poor families. On finding that the student had failed to complete the homework, she started beating them with cane.
