A 15-year-old school student, thrashed by her teacher, died in New Delhi on Wednesday.

Rinki Kaushik, a student of class X had been battling her injuries for more than three months.

Doctors said, "She had been suffering from a major complication in the brain which was aggravated due to the assault. We operated on her to treat the problem. For some time, she even responded. However, the prolonged illness left her immune system weak and she developed major chest complications while at the hospital. She was on ventilator from February 26."

Rinki’s father Naresh Kumar has charged that Dheerendra, a teacher in the Dinkar National Model School in the Indian capital had thrashed her mercilessly for not taking tuition from him. He is also the son of the school principal.

“Rinki initially took private tuitions from Dheerendra, who taught Mathematics and English for Rs 400. We discontinued the tuition since he was not good,” said Kumar.

Thereafter Dheerendra constantly snubbed the girl, according to the First Information Report (FIR) lodged with the police.

The situation took an ugly turn on November 3. “When she raised a doubt in the class, Dheerendra taunted her saying that she could consult her private tuition teacher and Rinki retorted saying he had better answer because she was paying the school fees,” said Kumar.

An enraged Dheerendra slapped the girl and hit her with a stick repeatedly. She fell unconscious when she received blows on her head.

Most unfortunate incident. It should be condemned. Teachers, those are greedy of money better switch over to their own coaching classes leaving theier teachership in a public/Govt. school. A Teacher should be honest and impartial while discharging his duty/imparting education to his/her students. A teacher should come forward to help his student in case of any doubt and should behave decently. He/she should leave such an image in the minds of students so that they will be remembered by their students for ever. After all teachers are the persons who builds the future of a bright nation.
