Kalaburagi: A teacher in a homeopathy college in Karnataka’s Kalaburagi was allegedly assaulted by student for questioning and preventing him from copying during an internal examination.
The accused student has been identified as Shahbaz and the victim as Assistant Professor Shivaraj Kumar.
According to preliminary information on Friday, “The incident occurred during an internal examination in the subject of Homoeopathic Materia Medica at a private homoeopathy college in the city.”
The accused student, Shahbaz, was using a mobile phone in an attempt to copy during the exam. Assistant Professor Shivaraj Kumar, who was supervising the examination block, noticed the student’s actions and questioned him.
The professor then confiscated the answer sheet and instructed the student to leave the classroom. Angered by this, the student allegedly assaulted the assistant professor.
The college administration has reportedly informed the student’s parents about his behaviour and has decided not to allow him to appear for upcoming examinations. However, no formal complaint has been lodged either by the college management or by the assaulted assistant professor, Shivaraj Kumar. The police have stated that if the compliant is received in this regard, they will initiate legal action.
More details are yet to emerge regarding the development.
