On the complaint of the boy’s father, a case was registered against accused Sadul Hasan under sections 341 (punishment for wrongful restraint) and 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt) of the IPC on Saturday at Dayalpur police station, the officer said.
According to police, the boy had forgotten to bring his Hindi textbook to school, which had angered the teacher.
When the boy was going out of the class, Hasan stopped him from leaving and slapped the student. The accused had also allegedly pressed the victim’s neck, police was quoted as saying by PTI.
