In a shocking incident, a nine-year-old boy died after he was beaten up with an iron rod and allegedly thrown off the first floor of the school building.

The incident happened in the Hadli village of Karnataka’s Gadag district on Saturday.

The student, identified as Bharat Barakeri, a Class IV student at Government Model Primary School in Hadali, was talking to his friends when a guest faculty member attacked him with a thin iron rod without any apparent provocation.

Hadagali did not stop there and attacked Bharath’s mother, Geetha Barakera, who, too, is a contract teacher in the school, when she rushed to his rescue.

He also assaulted another teacher, Nangangouda Patil, who ran to control him.

The father of the girl said his daughter is still unable to eat or drink anything.

He has demanded a harsher punishment for the teacher, saying, “how could someone do this to a child”.

“We want the teacher to be removed and severely punished. She could harm any child. We send our children for education. She can do same thing to other students,” he added.
