A teacher was suspended the Block Education Officer (BEO) on Monday for mercilessly beating students after forcing them to kneel down at a school in the Anandpur area in Keonjhar district.
The incident had come to the fore after a video went viral on social media.
Even though the State Government has banned corporal punishment in the schools, the inhuman act of the teacher at the Pitataangara Upper Primary School has raised many an eyebrow.
The teacher, Rati Narayan Rout, beat up the students, including girls, at the school premises when they all failed to answer a question.
