govt-teacher-suspended-in-j-k-for-corporal-punishment

A government school teacher was suspended in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district for allegedly resorting to corporal punishment to a student, the officials stated on Saturday. 

Anayatullah Ahanger, posted at Primary School Gowarian Dhar in the remote Inderwal area, was placed under immediate suspension after a video purportedly showing a student subjected to corporal punishment went viral on social media, they said. 

Kishtwar Chief Education Officer Javed Ahmad Kitchloo ordered the suspension of the accused teacher and also set up a three-member committee for an in-depth inquiry into the matter.
