Bhopal, January 30: A school teacher in the tribal Betul district of Madhya Pradesh asked students to fetch liquor for him and then caned the girls, forcing them to dance in a closed classroom on Republic Day. The teacher, Mahesh Malviya, has been suspended and an inquiry ordered against him.

This shocking incident came to light when 30 school children from Deochowki village in Betul and their parents reached the district collector's office on Saturday complaining that Malviya handed Rs 30 to a 10-year-od tribal student, and asked him to fetch a bottle of country liquor from the nearest outlet.

The class V student walked half-a-km to buy the liquor bottle. Malviya then poured the drink in a glass, locked the door of the classroom, and asked the girl students aged between seven and 11 years to dance for him. When the girls did not dance satisfactorily, he caned them.

Showing injury marks on their bodies to the Betul district collector, the girl students said, "Masterji beat us because we could not dance. He also shut the door and we could not run away. Then we climbed out of the window and ran to hide in the forests.''

Betul collector Chandrasekhar Borkar confirmed the incident. "Students and their parents complained about the incident. We have ordered an inquiry and found the allegations to be true,'' he told TOI.

During inquiry it was found he was also accused of rape in 2008, when he was posted in Peepaldhana Government School in Bhagoli village also in Betul. District Congress chief Shashi Rajput said, "It's amazing how such a man was reinstated as a teacher. We demand a criminal case be registered against the teacher.''

Mumbai, Feb 11: A 65-year-old woman was allegedly killed by her husband over debt and illness in suburban Powai here, police said on Tuesday.

The incident came to light when Sheela Ajit Lad was found dead by her neighbours at Sukh Shanti Co-operative Society at around 9.30 pm on Monday, an official said.

The victim was allegedly killed by her husband Ajit Lad, who hit her on the head with a heavy object, slit her wrists and strangled her to death, he said.

The accused absconded at around 7.30 pm, leaving a note at the crime scene, saying he was going to commit suicide and had killed his wife because he was heavily in debt and she was suffering from an ailment, the official said.

The childless couple lived alone in the apartment, he added.

"On the basis of the note, we have registered a case of murder against Ajit Lad and have launched a manhunt for him. We have not traced him or found his body as he had mentioned suicide in the note," deputy commissioner of police (DCP) Zone X Ankit Goyal said.
