Thane News: Euro Kids Teacher Ties 3-Year-Old Toddler To Chair, Slaps Him; CCTV Footage Surfaces

Thane: A disturbing incident has recently emerged from the Pachpakadi area of the city, involving a three-year-old toddler who was subjected to mistreatment by his teacher. On Saturday, June 17, the child was shockingly tied to a chair and physically assaulted by the teacher, an act that was captured on CCTV footage.

The victim's father, Dinesh, has come forward with serious allegations against the teacher, claiming that his son was not only tied to a chair but also physically assaulted. Outraged by the incident, Dinesh has taken immediate action by filing a complaint with the Naupada Police Station.

Mother Noticed Change In Behaviour

On Saturday, when the victim's mother arrived at Euro Kids School to pick him up, she immediately sensed a noticeable change in her son's behavior. Something seemed amiss, and it became evident that he was visibly distraught. His father, upon witnessing his son's reluctance to go back to school, was equally shocked and concerned.

The child later revealed that he had been shouted at and beaten by his teacher--identified as Prajakta Pathare. He also stated that she had tied him to a chair.

He called the school principal Nivedita Mukherjee who claimed that the teacher had not tied him up but only held his hand. However, the CCTV footage revealed the opposite.

The footage showed the teacher slapping the toddler and tying him using a dupatta (scarf).

Principal Refused To Comment

When contacted, the principal refused to comment on the matter.

However, she told the parent that she will look into the matter and take action accordingly.

Cop Speaks

Sanjay Dhumal, senior police inspector, Naupada police station, said, " Based on the complaint from Dinesh Shettigar, we have registered a case against the teacher and are further investigating the case."
