Teacher who made boy clean faeces jailed

Namakkal:11.01.2020

A 40-year-old government school teacher was on Friday sentenced to five years imprisonment for forcing a Class II student to clean human excreta from the classroom. The special court for SC/ST cases in the district combined court that heard the case also slapped a fine of ₹1000 on her. A court source identified the convict as R Vijayalakshmi, who was employed with the Namakkal Municipality Middle School in Ramapuram Pudur.

“When she entered the classroom on November 12, 2015, she found human excreta there. When she inquired, someone informed her that it was the doing of a Class III student the previous evening after school hours. Vijayalakshmi forced V Sasidharan, a Class II student, to clean the human excreta using his bare hands,” the source said.

Sasidharan informed his parents, who along with their relatives and neighbours, laid siege to the school the next day, demanding stern action against the teacher. TNN
