When the teacher was made aware of the social media post, she questioned the student who reportedly apologised. The teacher, however, beat her up along with some of her classmates inside the classroom, according to PTI report.

Another student present in the classroom captured the incident on cell phone, which then went viral on social media.

The student lodged a complaint with the police after which a case under relevant sections of the Juvenile Justice Act and IPC was registered against the teacher, reported PTI.

Investigation into the incident is underway.
