Varanasi Teacher Accused of Burning Student

A teacher in Varanasi is accused of burning a 5-year-old boy's private parts with a hot knife because he urinated in his pants.

The child asked to use the washroom but was refused permission.

The teacher allegedly heated a knife and burned the child, then threatened him not to tell anyone.

The child's parents tried to contact the teacher and the school principal but were ignored.

They then lodged a police complaint.

The police have registered an FIR against the school and the teacher, but the medical report did not mention any burn injuries.
