A government school teacher in Odisha's Mayurbhanj district has been suspended after allegedly beating 31 students with a bamboo stick because they failed to touch her feet following morning prayers.
The teacher has been identified as Sukanti Kar.
"Following the morning prayer assembly, all students proceeded to their respective classrooms. Allegedly, several students from classes 6, 7, and 8 were interrogated about why they had not touched her feet after the prayer," explained Block Education Officer Biplab Kar.
