A Class 10 Dalit student was allegedly beaten to death by his school teacher for committing a mistake in an exam in Uttar Pradesh’s Auraiya district earlier this month, police said on Monday.
A case has been registered and efforts are on to nab the accused teacher, Ashwini Singh, who also allegedly threatened the student’s family and hurled casteist remarks at them, police added. The incident came to light on Monday after Nikhil Kumar, a student at Adarsh Inter College on Phaphund Road who was undergoing treatment in a hospital after he was thrashed, succumbed to injuries.
His father, Raju Dohrey, alleged the 15-year-old was thrashed by Singh in class over a mistake in a social science test on September 7. He fainted after he was thrashed, Dohrey, a resident of Vaishali village, said.
