Indian teachers suspended or investigated after alleged abuse of students

In Rajasthan, a government school teacher was suspended after a viral video alleged she forced female students to remove their clothing while searching for a missing 500‑rupee note. Authorities have opened an investigation into the incident, which has sparked public outrage over child safety in schools.

In Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district, a lady teacher at a private residential school was accused of beating four hostel students with a plastic pipe after they left the campus to watch the Rath Yatra procession. A three‑member inquiry team was dispatched, and disciplinary action is expected pending the inquiry report. Both cases have drawn widespread condemnation and prompted calls for stricter oversight of school staff.
