The Maharashtra State Commission for Protection of Child Rights has taken suo motu cognisance of a student being beaten up last month in a madrassa in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar for allegedly stealing a watch.
In a release issued on Saturday, MSCPCR chairperson Susieben Shah said thrashing children in such a manner was cruel and humiliating.
"We have taken suo motu cognisance of the incident. The SP Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and other concerned persons have been asked to attend a hearing on the matter on March 6 in Mumbai," she said in the release.
As per police, the child was accused of stealing a watch worth ₹100 from a nearby shop and was beaten up by a maulana in the madrassa located in Khultabad in Chhatrapati Sabhajinagar.
