Class 1 student allegedly forced to drink urine by his teacher in a private school in Andhra Pradesh

Hyderabad : An investigation has been ordered after a couple filed a police complaint alleging that their six-year-old son was forced to drink urine by a teacher in a private school of East Godavari district.

The parents have filed a complaint against the teacher and the management of the school, claiming that their son, who is studying in Class 1, was forced to drink urine by the teacher.

"Someone passed urine in the mug and the teacher forced my son to drink. The teacher is on leave, it seems," the child's father told a local TV channel.

The boy claims that he along with three of his class mates had urinated in a tumbler, which they then left in the corner of the classroom. Upon finding the tumbler, the teacher asked the boy to drink it as punishment. When the boy resisted, the teacher forced some students to hold him down and forced his to drink it.

The police, who began investigation after the parents' complaint, say that the six-year-old later changed his stance saying that the teacher made other boys throw urine on him.
