SP, Shravasti, AK Maurya also claimed that as per the preliminary inquiry, the boy attended his classes till two days after being allegedly thrashed by the teacher. The probe to know the exact reason was on.

The police action gained momentum after several social organisations joined the protest launched by the child’s family in Shravasti district. The organisations demanded immediate arrest of the accused.

In a press note shared by the Shravasti police on Twitter, police officials confirmed the arrest of the teacher identified as Anupam Pathak, resident of Bangai village under Sirsiya police station limits of the district. They said the teacher was arrested from his house.

Here the doctors advised the family to take the boy to Lucknow but on August17 they got him admitted to Bahraich Medical College where he died.

The ASP also claimed that according to doctors the boy had high fever with low platelet count and the ultrasound report did not mention any injury on the body. The blood report, however, showed that the victim was suffering from septicemia and jaundice, said the ASP.

According to ASP Goswami, the uncle of the deceased, Shiv Kumar, had lodged the FIR against the teacher Anupam Pathak accusing him of beating up the child for not paying the school fees on August 8, after which the student’s health deteriorated and he finally succumbed during treatment.
