According to sources from the school, the concerned student was spotted disturbing the entire class during an academic period. "When the teacher asked him to refrain from such behaviour, the latter refused. After which he was asked to leave the class as a punishment," a source said, as per a report by IANS.
Then, during recess, the student went out of the school premises and soon, a group of his relatives led by his uncle barged into the staff room, and thrashed the concerned teacher severely. The incident was recorded by the CCTV camera installed there. When other teachers tried to rescue their colleague, they were also thrashed by the student's relatives.

Later, the school authorities lodged a complaint at the local police station. The cops have registered a case under non-bailable Sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), as per IANS.
