The National Human Rights Commission on Friday iterated its recommendation that the Rajasthan government initiate disciplinary action against police officials responsible for the delay in registration of an FIR on the complaint of parents of a fifth standard student that the child died after he was beaten up by a teacher in his school in Kota on December 3, 2017.

It has also asked the state government to pay relief of Rs 2 lakh to the mother as the delay in the registration of an FIR on her complaint in a cognizable offence amounted to the violation of human rights, the NHRC said in a statement.

The mother had complained that her son was brutally beaten with a bamboo stick by a teacher for not completing his homework.

When her son came back home, he found it hard to recognize his mother and brother and was having hallucinations about the teacher coming to stab him with a knife. He also stopped eating. He was rushed to hospital and died later.
