Two Kamothe Teachers Booked Under JJ Act Over Alleged Abuse of 6-Year-Old

Investigators say the child's age warrants a sensitive probe under juvenile-protection provisions.

Overview

  • Kamothe police registered an FIR on December 23 after a preliminary inquiry that began with a written application from the parents.
  • No arrests have been made as police examine statements and school records, according to senior police inspector Vimal Bidve.
  • The parents reported that on November 14 a teacher told another child to slap their son five to six times while the teacher watched and laughed.
  • They also alleged that on November 28 the English teacher struck the boy in the face with a compass box, causing a swollen lip.
  • The parents say the principal refused to share requested CCTV footage and tried to play down the incidents, a claim now part of the inquiry.
