An eight-year-old student of a private school in Sector 37 was hospitalised after being allegedly thrashed by the principal, for vomiting in the classroom.
The parents of the child have alleged that the principal continued to beat their son till he became unconscious.
According to the parents, Dhiraj (name changed), a class 2 student of Modern National School at Chhalera, had complained about ill-health on Saturday.
The parents alleged that the school authorities ignored the ill child, who later vomited inside the classroom. This infuriated the principal who allegedly beat the minor boy black and blue. The school authorities took him to a nearby hospital after that dropped the child home.
“Later, my son complained of severe pain in his right arm. We got an X-ray done, which revealed that his right arm was fractured,” said Anita, mother of the student.
She claimed that when they reported the matter to the school authorities, no one responded. The principal also refused to talk to them, the mother claimed.
However, the school authorities denied the allegations and called it a conspiracy to malign the school’s reputation. Around 500 students are enrolled in the school.
