He was screaming in pain, and none of us knew because no one could hear him though the din of the machines in the workshop,” Verma told TOI. “He taught my child between 2 and 3 pm in a room next to my workshop where we make locks. Agra: A tuition teacher in Aligarh was booked for attempt to murder after parents of a seven-year-old boy he was teaching found CCTV footage of him mercilessly beating their son with a shoe, biting his fingers and holding the child by the ears and thrashing him repeatedly. I feel terrible that my son was treated like this in my own house. The video, now viral on social media, shows the child writhing in pain but his screams are drowned out by the noise emanating from the family’s hardware workshop on the same floor.

Agra: A tuition teacher in Aligarh was booked for attempt to murder after parents of a seven-year-old boy he was teaching found CCTV footage of him mercilessly beating their son with a shoe, biting his fingers and holding the child by the ears and thrashing him repeatedly. The video, now viral on social media, shows the child writhing in pain but his screams are drowned out by the noise emanating from the family’s hardware workshop on the same floor. The father, troubled by what he had seen, uploaded the video on social media on Sunday and appealed to users to share it widely so his son could get justice, following which police registered a case against the teacher.Aligarh SSP Ajay Kumar Sahni told TOI that a case has been registered under section 307 (attempt to murder) of the IPC against the teacher. The teacher is on the run.It was a technical glitch in the CCTV installed in the Naurangabad house that led Nirmal Verma (name changed) to check the footage, exposing a tale of horror and abuse his young child had been quietly living with for the past six months.Kamal Sharma, 35, was hired by Verma to teach all subjects to his son at a salary of Rs 2,000 per month. “He taught my child between 2 and 3 pm in a room next to my workshop where we make locks. CCTVs are installed in the room and the workshop and one day a worker was complaining about some technical glitch in the CCTVs so I decided to see what was wrong,” Verma said.While perusing through the footage, Verma was shocked to see the abuse his son had been going through. The young boy had also been complaining about pain in his mouth and had become unusually quiet for the past few days.“He was so scared of what the teacher would do to him if he complained that he kept it to himself. I feel terrible that my son was treated like this in my own house. He was screaming in pain, and none of us knew because no one could hear him though the din of the machines in the workshop,” Verma told TOI.
