Dinesh Kapoor, secretary of Shakuntala School said, "We are also investigating the matter parallelly. If the teacher is at fault, we will take necessary action. At the same time, we will check the CCTV footage and speak to other students to know more about the incident. The incident took place at 11.30 am and the boy left the school at 12.30 pm. He did not complain about any pain when he was in school and his parents did not approach us with the complaint. They directly went to the police. We will cooperate for any kind of investigation by the police."
In her defence, the school teacher said that when Smitesh spoke rudely to her, she hit him with a pencil and not a stick. She further said that he apologised to the principal as well for speaking rudely. "I did not do anything deliberately," she added.
