In a shocking incident, a nine-year-old Dalit boy from Rajasthan was beaten to death by a teacher for drinking water from a pot meant for upper caste people.
The tragic incident happened on July 20 at a private school in Surana village in the Jalore district of Rajasthan. The injured child, Indra Meghwal, was rushed to a hospital in Ahmedabad for treatment. As his condition worsen, he eventually succumbed to his injuries on Saturday. Meghwal was initially taken to the district hospital, but was later taken to Ahmedabad.
Police said the accused teacher, Chail Singh (40), has been arrested and a case under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code and the SC/ST Act has been lodged.
Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot responded to this incident and said the case has been taken up under the Case Officer Scheme for speedy investigation.
“The death of a student due to assault by a teacher in a private school in the Sayla police station area of Jalore is tragic. An arrest has been made against the accused teacher by registering a case under sections of the murder and SC/ST Act,” Gehlot said on Twitter.
The government announced a compensation of Rs 5 lakh for the kin of the deceased student from the chief minister’s relief fund.
