Teacher Throws Tiffin Box, Injures LKG Student

Hyderabad: An LKG student was hospitalised on Wednesday after a teacher allegedly struck him with a metal tiffin box during class at a primary school in Saidabad. The incident left the child bleeding from a head wound, necessitating immediate medical attention and police intervention.

The child’s parents were called to the school with the explanation that he had been injured while playing with a classmate. Upon arrival, they found their son’s scalp lacerated and his shirt soaked in blood. School authorities initially claimed the injury occurred accidentally during a scuffle with another student.

Hyderabad: A woman was seriously injured on Wednesday after a neighbour allegedly attacked her with a knife at her home in KPHB Colony. Police said the accused, Rajesh Reddy, was reportedly upset over being asked to clear dues at a local kirana store.

Five days ago, Vishnuvardhan’s father went to Reddy’s house to remind him about the pending amount; in Reddy’s absence, his wife allegedly abused him.
