Chennai, February 12: The 15-year-old boy who killed his teacher in a classroom in the city apparently after she complained about his grades has told cops that he doesn't want to meet his parents.

"I've brought dishonour to my family. I can't face them," a police officer quoted him as saying.

The boy's father, a businessman, told police that he had scolded his son after the teacher made adverse remarks against him. He hadn't imagined, though, that the boy would vent his anger in such an extreme manner.

The teenager, who was arrested on Thursday soon after he committed the crime, is now being kept in a government juvenile home.

A day after Hindi teacher R Uma Maheshwari was killed, investigators found that she had made 13 adverse entries in the boy's school diary, reprimanding him for failing class tests. On Thursday, the boy went to school with a knife and stabbed the teacher, who was waiting for students for a special class.

Police had taken the boy to the Esplanade police station, where he was interviewed before being sent to the home. He told police officers that he didn't want to meet his parents.

"He was so nervous," said an officer who interviewed him. "He didn't know how to face his parents."

When a police team took him to the Stanley Medical College Hospital for treating a hand injury he sustained during the incident, he kept staring at the floor.

"He didn't look up even once," said a policeman.

His father broke down on seeing the boy being taken away in a police vehicle.

A juvenile justice board, comprising a metropolitan magistrate and two social workers, is expected to complete an inquiry into the incident in four months. The board will then decide on the period of sentence.

Tikamgarh, Jul 25: Promise of providing housing to the poor has been made by both Centre as well as State governments but a Dalit family in Tikamgarh district of Madhya Pradesh is forced to live in a toilet for the last several years.

However, the administration denied that the family is living in the toilet.

Maganlal Ahirwar, his wife and four children live in Keshavgarh Gram Panchayat of Mohangarh area of Tikamgarh district. All of them have been living in the toilet for four years. Ahirwar's wife Phula Devi said she told the authorities several times that her family didn't get house under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, but no one listened. The couple even got their daughter married in the same toilet.

They even got an electricity connection and gas connection under the Ujjwala scheme.

Mohangarh tehsildar Dr. Abhijeet Singh told media persons, "I got to know about the case and have asked for the report. Maganlal Ahirwar came to the office two-three days ago and denied that he was living in the toilet with his family. He has an ancestral house in the village."

He might have lived in a toilet earlier but currently he is not living there, Dr. Singh added.
