Dalit kid died allegedly as a result of teacher abuse for touching a water pot
in a private school, protests broke out in Rajasthan's Jalore district,
according to police.
mso-themecolor:text1">According to Jalore superintendent of police Harsh
Vardhan Agarwalla, the teacher, Chail Singh, 40, has been detained and charged
with murder under parts of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention
of Atrocities) Act and Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code.

at the private school Saraswati Vidhya Mandir in Surana village, was severely
beaten on July 20. The reason given by the boy's family in their
complaint- touching a drinking water pot, is currently under investigation.
color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">A senior police officer reported that the
youngster passed away from his injuries on Saturday at a hospital in Ahmedabad.
mso-themecolor:text1">According to a senior police officer, on Sunday, officers
used restraint to disperse demonstrators who had been throwing stones at
authorities and refusing to allow the body to be cremated unless their demands
for a government position and money for the boy's family were satisfied.
color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">Ashok Gehlot, the Chief Minister of
Rajasthan, promised justice for the boy's family and announced a 5 lakh ex
gratia payment to the kin of the deceased.
mso-themecolor:text1">"It is unfortunate that a child died as a result of
a teacher being beaten at a private school near the Saila police station in
Jalore. According to Gehlot's Hindi-language tweet, the accused teacher has
been detained and a case has been filed against him for murder and violations
of the SC/ST Act.

the sentencing of the offender, the matter has been placed under the case
officer plan. The victim's family will receive justice as soon as possible, he
promised. The Chief Minister's relief fund would provide a 5 lakh rupee relief
payment to the deceased's family members.
color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">The boy's uncle reportedly filed a complaint
with the police, and as a result, a first information report was made against
the teacher on Saturday.
mso-themecolor:text1">The youngster's family claimed in their complaint that
the teacher's abuse left the boy with bruises to his face and ear and nearly
rendered him unconscious.
color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">The boy was brought to the district hospital,
where he was later sent to an Udaipur hospital. He was kept in the Udaipur
hospital for nearly a week, but when he showed no signs of improvement, we
brought him to Ahmedabad. But even there, his condition did not get better, and
on Saturday he passed away, the boy's father, Devaram Meghwal, informed
reporters.
mso-themecolor:text1">The state department of education has launched a probe
into the incident, and the chairman of the Rajasthan SC Commission, Khiladi Lal
Bairwa, directed that it be handled under the case officer's scheme for quick
investigation.
color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">A senior police officer claimed that although
the family was prepared to cremate the body, activists from the Dalit
organisation were making unreasonable demands. This was in response to the
protest being held by the child's relatives and a Dalit rights organisation.
"The CM has already made a 5 lakh compensation announcement.
mso-themecolor:text1">Additionally, when a case is filed under Section 302 of
the IPC, 8.25 lakh compensation is offered under the SC/ST Act, according to a
senior police officer who asked to remain anonymous. However, when the
administration was coming to a decision, some locals and activists attempted to
remove the body from the house without the family's permission. Then, the cops
used minimal force to scatter them.
color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">The situation is under control, according to
district collector Nishant Jain, and no force was applied. "The protesters
were simply driven back... The body is being burned after an agreement with the
family members, he said. "Money of Rs. 5 lakh has been announced by the CM
and half the amount (under SC/ST Act), i.e., about Rs. 4 lakh, has been
provided to the family and the remaining amount would be granted after the
challan."
mso-themecolor:text1">The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) urged action against the
private school's owner on Sunday and claimed that when the state administration
and chief minister are weak, situations like this tend to occur.
"Over
the past three and a half years, several Dalit atrocities have taken place.
When the state government and chief minister are ineffective, this occurs. As
soon as possible, the guilty must be punished, BJP state president Satish
Poonia said reporters.
Such
tragic occurrence makes us consider our positions as the nation marks its 75th
year of independence. For us, society is most important because it is made up
of peace and oneness.
Ramlal
Sharma, a BJP lawmaker, suggested that recognition of the institution be
revoked in order to preserve discipline. In order to keep discipline in
schools, he suggested that action be taken against the school's owner and that
the school's recognition be revoked.
