Maharashtra School Shut Down After Teacher Sprays Surface Cleaner on Student Private Parts

Maharashtra — A shocking incident in Maharashtra’s Buldhana district has led the state government to shut down a private school after a teacher was accused of spraying surface cleaner on a student's private parts.

The incident involved a Class 5 student, who reportedly committed a minor mistake in class. As punishment, the teacher sprayed a toilet surface cleaner on the child’s private area, causing severe pain and mental trauma. The incident quickly came to light after the child informed his parents, who then filed a police complaint.

Following public outrage and intervention by the State Commission for Protection of Child Rights, the school was immediately shut down. Authorities have launched a full investigation, and the teacher involved has been suspended and booked under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and child protection laws.

The Maharashtra education department has assured that strict action will be taken against anyone involved. The case has also raised serious concerns about student safety and teacher accountability in private schools.
