Raichur, November 11, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
A teacher at a madrasa in Kavitala town of Sirwara taluk in Karnataka’s Raichur district has been accused of gagging and brutally assaulting a Class 3 student for allegedly not studying properly. Police have registered an FIR against the teacher, the headmaster and four others following a complaint by the child’s father.
The incident reportedly took place at Darul Huppaz Madrasa, where the accused teacher, identified as Abbas, allegedly assaulted the boy. The child is said to have sustained injuries to his eye, abdomen and shoulder.
According to the complaint, the boy’s parents had admitted him to the madrasa around two years ago. When his father visited him on November 8, he noticed that the child appeared distressed and was suffering. On being questioned, the boy allegedly told his father that Abbas had gagged and beaten him as punishment for not studying properly.
The father reportedly confronted the teacher, but alleged that Abbas responded negligently instead of providing a satisfactory explanation. He subsequently approached Kavitala police and lodged a complaint seeking action against those responsible.
Police registered an FIR against Abbas, the headmaster and four others on Wednesday and initiated an investigation into the alleged assault.
Meanwhile, the injured student has been admitted to Lingasugur Taluk Hospital, where he is receiving medical treatment. Further details are awaited as the investigation progresses.
