Balrampur school dismisses teacher accused of beating students with cricket stump
Published
A DAV Mukhyamantri Public School in Wadrafnagar dismissed a teacher after an internal inquiry into allegations that two students were beaten with a cricket stump. The Rural Press says the incident followed a dispute between the students, but the supplied material does not provide medical findings, the teacher's response or details of any education-department action.
Why it matters
Violence by school staff raises child-safety and institutional-accountability concerns; the dismissal also tests whether schools report such incidents and provide support beyond internal disciplinary action.
Evidence assessment
The Rural Press reports the allegations, school inquiry and dismissal; medical documentation, an official departmental record and the accused teacher's account are not included.
Medium confidence — The school's employment action supports that an inquiry occurred, while the precise assault circumstances remain documented by one local report.
Coverage assessment

A serious school-safety complaint and institutional response appear in one supplied local source.
