Digital Desk: In a shocking incident, a teacher at an Aaganawadi daycare center in Karnataka's Tumkur district brutally burned a 3-year-old boy's genitals. The Anganwadi teacher and her assistant burned the child's genitals with a matchstick because he was urinating in his underwear. The heinous crime occurred on Monday, according to police, and the FIR was filed on Friday.
Rashmi, the teacher, has been charged under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act 2015 as well as Section 285 of the Indian Penal Code, according to Superintendent of Police (SP) Rahulkumar Shahapurwad. "He was frequently wetting himself. To put a stop to it, they burned him," the top cop added. Rashmi had previously attempted to apologize and settle the matter in order to avoid legal action. However, the victim's parents insisted on strict action and filed an FIR against her on Friday. According to local media, the teacher has also received a notice from the Women and Child Welfare Department.
While more information on the boy's medical condition is still pending, media reports indicate that the victim has burns on his private parts and thighs. The incident has shocked and infuriated the local community. A second investigation into the heinous crime is said to be underway.
