Police booked Teacher for thrashing student in Rajouri.

A Government school teacher in the Kotranka area of Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district has been booked by the police for severely thrashing a Class 3 boy, resulting in damage to his ear.

According to officials the incident occurred on Friday at Government Middle School Sada, in the Kotranka Educational Zone.

The In-charge Headmaster of the School was engaged in official duties when the incident took place. The 8-year-old boy had gone to the toilet, while the rest of the class was making noise. Upon the boy’s return, the enraged In-charge Headmaster allegedly subjected him to severe physical abuse, including slapping his ear.

The boy’s ear began to bleed profusely, and a deep wound was inflicted. The teacher, realizing the gravity of the situation, took the boy to a nearby medical shop where first aid was administered, and the wound was bandaged.

However, the teacher reportedly failed to inform the boy’s family about the incident and sent him home.

As the bleeding persisted, the boy’s parents took him to Kotranka Hospital for treatment. Doctors at the hospital provided initial medical assistance before referring the boy to GMC Rajouri due to the severity of the ear injury.

Upon learning about the incident from their son and other students, the boy’s parents lodged an FIR (No. 49/2024) against the In-charge Headmaster at Kotranka Police Station.

Subsequently, the police attempted to arrest the teacher, but he evaded capture by fleeing from his residence, as confirmed by a police official.

The police are a constituted body of persons empowered by a state, with the aim to enforce the law, protect public order, and the public itself. This commonly includes ensuring the safety, health, and possessions of citizens, and to prevent crime and civil disorder. Their lawful powers encompass arrest and the use of force legitimized by the state via the monopoly on violence. The term is most commonly associated with the police forces of a sovereign state that are authorized to exercise the police power of that state within a defined legal or territorial area of responsibility. Police forces are often defined as being separate from the military and other organizations involved in the defense of the state against foreign aggressors; however, gendarmerie are military units charged with civil policing. Police forces are usually public sector services, funded through taxes.
