Lamka, March 07, 2014:
A class IX student who was allegedly caned and kicked by his English teacher today was admitted to hospital after he complained of severe headache, pending further investigation.
John (13, name changed), a student of Blue Star Academy here said he was caned by the English teacher in the second period for not memorising his assignment.
He said as they are having a test he had as well missed the assignment adding, as the teacher caned him which partially hit his palm he looked up to see if he is going to be again caned or not.
This reportedly annoyed his teacher who started to punch him on the head, and then climbed up on the desk and kicked him.
The student told reporters from his hospital bed that he informed about the incident to his parents only at around 6 pm after he could not bear the pain on his head.
With marks on his back and signs of injury on his head, doctors have reportedly admitted him for conducting further investigation and keep him under observation.
