A three-year-old boy suffered a head wound after a teacher allegedly hurled a tiffin box at him at a school in Saidabad on Wednesday.
The boy has been identified as Avula Eshwar, an LKG student at a private school in Saidabad.
Manikantha, the boy's father, dropped him off at school in the morning. In the afternoon, the family received a phone call informing them that Avula had suffered a head injury while playing. When the parents arrived at the school, the school staff tried to conceal the fact that the boy had suffered the injury after being hit by the tiffin box.
The boy's father told local media, "Our child suffered an injury after a teacher hit him with a tiffin box. The school management is trying to downplay the incident, saying two children fought."
The aggrieved parents approached the police and filed a complaint. According to reports, a case has been registered in the matter.
