In a gruesome incident, a teacher allegedly blinded a nine-year-old student simply because he did not complete his homework. The incident took place at a government school in Rawatpura village in Madhya Pradesh.
According to a complaint lodged with the police on Tuesday by the victim's father, Ajay Yadav was cruelly beaten up by the teacher, Sukh Devi, on December 11 for not completing his homework.
The teacher was so furious that she poked her stick into Ajays right eye after beating him, the complaint said. The blow caused the pupil of Ajays eye to come out.
A scared Sukh Devi then called her husband, Patiram Sahu, also a teacher, for help. Patiram made an unsuccessful attempt to put the pupil back into the cavity, which further damaged the childs eye, the complaint said.
The teacher couple then called Ajay's parents and asked them not to report the matter to the police. They promised to arrange for the student's treatment.
But when the accused did not provide any medical treatment to the child, the victim's father lodged a complaint.
Superintendent of police Vijay Raghuvanshi has ordered the arrest of the accused, who are said to be absconding, the police said.

Remember when you suggested starting an outrageously fake thread, to bait in the insider trolls?
When I saw this thread title, I thought you'd actually done it.

Naah, I'm not gonna take any cheap shots at this poor kid.
But between this and the knitting in class, it's a wonder anything gets taught there at all.
