GUWAHATI: An eighth-standard student from Holy Child School in Chandmari, Guwahati has come forward alleging persistent mental harassment that led to her emotional breakdown.
The accusations point to a specific teacher who publicly humiliated the student over a minor mistake.
Speaking to the media, the school principal addressed the situation, stating, "Mistakes have been made in the common conversation between the female student and the teacher. Now, this has been misinterpreted externally. Understanding this, it has been rectified. There has been no form of mental harassment whatsoever."
However, conflicting narratives emerged as the student's parents took a different stance, filing an FIR at Chandmari Police Station.
Talking to GPlus, a police official from Chandmari Police Station said, "A female teacher verbally abused the student for not being able to answer a question. So, the parents have filed an FIR."
