A six-year-old boy dies after an incident at a private school in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, where his family alleges a teacher slaps him. NDTV reports the child dies following the alleged beating tied to homework non-completion, while police investigate the circumstances.

Both outlets describe the child as collapsing at the school after the alleged teacher action. Vanguard additionally names the child as Pranay Teja and says he collapses following the incident over homework. NDTV does not provide the same name but similarly links the death to the family’s claim of physical punishment for not finishing homework.

As the investigation continues, authorities have not publicly established the cause of death or whether any misconduct occurred beyond the family’s allegations, and the reports focus on the immediate trigger described by relatives and the fact that police are examining the case.
