A six-year-old boy died on Thursday after he was allegedly beaten by a teacher at a school in Visakhapatnam. The incident took place at Little Garden School in the One Town area. The boy, identified as Pranay Teja, had arrived at school on Thursday morning. The report claims that Pranay was beaten and reprimanded by the teacher for not doing his homework.
Later, within the classroom, the youngster passed out. After being taken to a hospital, the medical staff pronounced him dead. The exact cause of the child’s death, however, is yet to be established through the official investigation. Claims that he died of a heart attack after being frightened by the teacher have been made in connection with the incident.
After then, King George Hospital (KGH) received his body for a post-mortem examination. According to the family, Pranay Tej had gone to school as usual when he was allegedly reprimanded by his teacher for not completing his homework.
