In a deeply disturbing case from Himachal Pradesh, three government school teachers including the headmaster have been booked for brutally assaulting a Dalit boy and allegedly placing a scorpion in his pants. The incident took place at a Government Primary School in Khaddapani, under Shimla’s Rohru subdivision.

According to the police complaint filed by the boy’s father, the child, had been physically tortured for nearly a year by headmaster Devendra and teachers Babu Ram and Kritika Thakur. The repeated assaults reportedly left the boy’s ear bleeding and caused damage to his eardrum.

Caste Bias and Fear Tactics Alleged

The complaint further states that the teachers forced the boy into a toilet before placing the scorpion in his clothes, and later threatened to expel him if he spoke up.
