A 3-year-old boy was beaten, dragged by his ears, tied to a chair for nearly three hours and denied food at Makoons Kids Unplugged School in Maujpur, Delhi.
According to the FIR, Muslim teacher Simran captured in CCTV the child being assaulted, while another clip reportedly shows an allegation of inappropriate touching, which is being investigated under the POCSO Act.
The child's father said he noticed severe distress after the boy returned home vomiting, with swollen eyes and ears. An ENT examination reportedly found swelling in both eardrums.
The father also alleged that the school initially refused to provide CCTV footage and later demanded ₹1,500 for access to the recordings.
Police have booked the school's directors, principal, teacher and attendant under various provisions, including POCSO. The attendant has been arrested, while the role of the other accused is being investigated.
The Delhi government has also ordered action against the school, including its sealing.
