UP teacher thrashes 13-year-old boy, ruptures his eardrum

A teacher allegedly thrashed a 13-year-old boy for talking during the class in a government school in Uttar Pradesh's Amethi.

The boy's eardrum was ruptured due to the assault. It is a condition in which a hole forms in the thin tissue that separates the ear canal from the middle ear. It can lead to hearing loss and make the middle ear vulnerable to infections.

His mother filed a complaint with the police in which she said that her son, Anirudh Tiwari, was talking during his English class on September 11 which infuriated his teacher.

"The teacher, Shiv Lal Jaiswal, started thrashing Anirudh and continued to slap him even after he pleaded that blood was oozing out of his ear. Anirudh was taken to a doctor who found that his eardrum was ruptured," she was quoted as saying by Times of India.

An FIR had been lodged against the teacher under relevant sections and the statements of the principal, teacher and students would be taken soon, said police.
