A 12-year-old student in Gujarat's Mehsana district fell from the second floor of his school, Holy Family School, on Monday. The boy, a Class 6 student, suffered a fractured right leg and was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment. His family has accused his teachers of subjecting him to 'constant torture', citing an incident where the minor's class teacher allegedly slapped him for failing to submit homework. According to the boy's father, Jignesh Rami, the teacher slapped him four times and forced him to stay outside the class until he completed his homework. The family claims the boy was pushed outside the class multiple times, leading to his desperate decision to jump from the school building. School authorities have suspended the teacher involved and claimed to be cooperating with the police investigation. The family has filed a written complaint, but no FIR has been registered yet. The incident has sparked concerns over the school's handling of student discipline and the need for stricter measures to prevent such incidents.
