Bengaluru/IBNS: A 10-year-old boy died in Karnataka on Monday after his teacher beat him and pushed him off the first-floor balcony of the government-run school at Hagli village in the northern part of the state.

According to the police, Muthappa, the accused teacher at Adarsh Primary School beat the boy with a shovel. 

The victim-Bharat-was a student of Class 4.

The police said the reason behind such brutal thrashing is not yet apparent and prima facie it appears to be a family issue.

Muthappa had even thrashed Bharat's mother, Gita Barker, who is a teacher at the same school. She is receiving treatment at a local hospital.

The accused, who was a contractual employee, is currently missing.

A similar incident was reported at a school in Delhi last week. The teacher, in a fit of rage, had attacked a student of Class 5 with scissors and flung her from the first floor of a government school building.
