Kids thrashed for tearing CPM poster

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Politics in Kerala plumbed shameful depths when a teacher in the most literate state of the country turned on a group of four primary school kids and thrashed them on the basis of a complaint from a local CPM boss who accused them of damaging the party's posters outside the school.

In what must set a new benchmark for reprehensible conduct, the four students — Ajin Dev, Akhil Dev, Anoy and Shobin, all students between ages seven and nine of government-run primary school in Kozhikode — were beaten up by their teacher on October 23, as a result of which the traumatised kids have refused to go to their school.

Following a complaint by their parents, the police have registered a case of threatening and hurting minors against CPM leader Yugesh Babu, who is also a member of the local gram panchayat, along with the headmaster and their woman class teacher.

The controversy assumed a bizarre political twist with rumours flying thick that the kids had to pay for the political beliefs of their parents, who, it is learnt, are sympathisers of another party. As a result of the rumours, the district education office has stepped in and an inquiry is being conducted by the assistant education officer.

His report will be submitted to the district deputy director of education Vinod Babu.

"The AEO has confirmed the allegations against the teacher and the report has been forwarded to the director of public instructions," said Vinod Babu. He also said the teacher’s actions amounted to corporal punishment which is banned in Kerala.
