The tutor later apologised and requested the kid's family not to inform the police. But after that, her husband came and threatened them not to lodge a complaint, forcing the family to register the police complaint.
TV channels had aired on Monday video footage of a school principal brutally caning "indisciplined" visually challenged boys, aged between 9 and 13 years, in Andhra Pradesh's East Godavari district. The police later arrested the principal, who was also visually challenged, and another school official.
