The Mumbai police have&nbsp;booked a&nbsp;24-year-old&nbsp;teacher for allegedly thrashing an eight-year-old&nbsp;differently-abled boy in school.
The incident which took place on July 30 in suburban&nbsp;Matunga came to light on August 2 when a video clip, showing&nbsp;the teacher thrashing the minor boy with a cane, was&nbsp;circulated among all the parents.
The teacher, who has been identified as Rima Kalgutkar,&nbsp;employed with Little Angels School for differently-abled.
"A person had recorded the entire episode of the&nbsp;teacher assaulting the student which he then forwarded to the&nbsp;child's parents. The parents of the boy got to see the clip on&nbsp;August 2, when they came to the school for a parents-teachers association meet," Inspector Shashikanth Londhe of Matunga&nbsp;police station told PTI.
Following the incident, the teacher has been suspended&nbsp;from the school, he said.
"Since the teacher has committed a crime by assaulting&nbsp;a student, her arrest is imminent. Once our preliminary&nbsp;investigation is over we will be arresting her," Londhe said.
Parents allege that the director of the school did not&nbsp;even apologise to them following their complaint, which led them to approach the police. However, their claim was refuted by the director.
According to the parents, they first approached&nbsp;Matunga police to file a complaint against the teacher on&nbsp;August 5, who in turn asked them to approach the Child Rights&nbsp;Commission.
Based on the report of the Commission, the police&nbsp;lodged an FIR against the accused.
The teacher has been booked under IPC Section 323&nbsp;(Punishment for voluntarily causing hurt) and the Juvenile Justice Act.
