This is one lesson three-year-old T Mathew could have done without on Teacher’s Day.

His teacher Anushka Prasad at Rinku Nursery school in Frazer Town did not accept the little boy’s Teacher’s Day present — but received the gifts of all his classmates — because his parents complained against her and the nursery principal Mrs Madhav after the teacher allegedly beat their son with a scale and slapped him for not colouring a picture properly.
Teacher’s Day celebration at the pre-nursery was advanced to Friday as the nursery is closed on Saturday and Sunday.
Mathew’s mother Saraswathi bought a pen and gift-wrapped it for the little boy to give it as a present to his teacher.
However, Mathew’s teacher Anushka Prasad reportedly accepted the presents of all students except his. She allegedly told him that she was not taking the gift as his parents had complained against the school principal.

The protesters demanded that a First Information Report (FIR) against the official be filed immediately. They also wanted a thorough inquiry into the matter. The women and child welfare department has so far only suspended Masali from work, and has not yet filed an FIR against him. “It’s farcical that an official supposed to take care of poor girl children sho uld turn a sexual predator, and then go scot-free. No FIR has yet been lodged, and he has also got anticipatory bail,” said Nagasimha G Rao, a child rights activist and member of the Campaign Against Child Labour (CACL).
