The boy’s family gathered outside the school after learning of his death, and blamed the teacher for his death.
In a tragic incident at a private school in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, a six-year-old boy collapsed and died after being slapped by his teacher for not completing his homework. The teacher slapped the student on his cheek while he was begging her to stop, causing the boy to suffer a cardiac arrest due to panic. The incident, which occurred at a private school in the One Town area of Visakhapatnam, was captured on CCTV footage that went viral on social media.
The boy's body was rushed to a nearby hospital, but doctors declared him dead upon arrival. A post-mortem examination will be conducted to determine the exact cause of death. The boy's family, who had returned from a pilgrimage only on Wednesday, claimed that their son had no health issues and were unaware of the incident until the school staff directly took him to the hospital.
Police and the Visakhapatnam district education department have launched an investigation to determine whether there was any negligence on the part of the school.
