Video: Indian teacher asks students to slap Muslim boy in class

An unpleasant video of an Indian teacher in the state of Uttar Pradesh telling her students to slap a Muslim child and making derogatory remarks against the Muslim community has gone popular on social media.

In the viral video, the teacher, Trapti Tyagi, is seen inciting the class 2 students at a private school in the Khubbapur hamlet, near the Mansurpur police station, to assault the Muslim child.

The police said they had seen the popular video and will ask the Education Department to take the instructor to task.

According to authorities, they are looking at whether the teacher’s actions had a community component.

Everyone has seen the popular video where a female instructor encourages some pupils to physically beat a classmate because they don’t know their multiplication tables. In a video statement posted on X, previously Twitter, Superintendent of Police Satyanarayan Prajapat said, “We have also spoken to the school administrator about the offensive statements in the video.”

Gandhi reacted with Rahul.

In response to the event on X, Congressman Rahul Gandhi said, “There is nothing worse a teacher can do for the country than sowing the poison of discrimination in the minds of innocent children, turning a holy place like a school into a market place of discrimination.””This is the same kerosene spilled by the BJP that has ignited fire in every nook and cranny of India. Children are India’s future; do not despise them; instead, let us all work to instill love in them, he urged.

The police said they are investigating whether the teacher’s action was communal in nature.

“We have taken cognisance of a viral video where a woman teacher is getting some school students to hit a classmate for not learning Mathematics tables. We have also spoken to the school principal about the objectionable comment in the video,” Superintendent of Police Satyanarayan Prajapat said in a video statement on X, formerly Twitter.
