Varanasi: A nursery teacher at a private school in Varanasi who allegedly branded a five-year-old boy on his private parts with a heated knife after he urinated in his pants when he was denied permission to use the restroom was booked by the police on Monday. An FIR was registered against the teacher, the principal and the management of the school after the child's father, Kesari Jaiswal, a lawyer, filed a complaint at the Lalpur-Pandeypur police station.
Jaiswal alleged that his son, a nursery student at Sareen Soni Play School in Pandeypur, returned home on July 24 complaining of pain in his private parts. On examination, the child's mother found a blister, he said.
The father alleged that the teacher, Preeti Kushwaha, had inflicted the injury after he urinated in his trousers when he was allegedly denied permission to use the washroom. According to the complaint, the teacher allegedly took the child to another room, heated a knife on a gas stove and used it to burn his private parts.
