Delhi govt. school teacher booked over ‘slur’ against students

The Delhi Police on Tuesday, August 29, 2023 filed a case against a government school teacher for allegedly using derogatory "religious words" against a few students.

According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) of Shahdara, Rohit Meena the police received a complaint about a school teacher using some religious words in front of students.  “Our Juvenile Welfare Officer along with counsellors are counselling the students. It is a Government school. A legal action will be taken. With true facts, we will register a case with appropriate sections,” Mr. Meena said.

The development follows the outrage over a viral video purportedly showing a school teacher instructing students to take turns to slap a classmate from the minority community at a school in Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh.
