A classroom violence incident in Lucknow involves allegations that a school monitor assaulted a five-year-old nursery student after a teacher left the room. Reports say the incident took place at ALS Academy in Vrindavan Yojana on Wednesday and was recorded on classroom CCTV. The footage reportedly shows a teacher with around 18 students instructing them to keep their heads down, then asking a class monitor to supervise before exiting. After the teacher leaves, the monitor is seen striking students who raise their heads. She then targets the five-year-old boy, repeatedly slapping him and attempting to force his head back down onto his desk. The child later tries to leave the classroom through a door, but the monitor allegedly blocks him, drags him back inside, and continues assaulting him; at least one other door appears to be locked. During the episode, other students are said to remain seated with their heads down. The teacher returns after about 10 minutes, and the boy reportedly complains immediately upon the monitor opening the door. The boy’s parents become aware of the injuries after the child returns home with swelling and bruises and review the CCTV footage. The school expels the monitor following the incident.
