Supreme Court On Muslim Boy Slapped At UP School: "Should Shock Conscience"

Stating that if the allegations are true, it should shock the state's conscience, the Supreme Court today ordered that a senior IPS officer be appointed to monitor the investigation in the case where a seven-year-old was slapped repeatedly by his classmates on the instruction of their teacher in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar. Calling it "serious and worrying", the court said it's a matter of right to life. A video of the incident had gone viral earlier this year, causing massive outrage. As the student stood crying, his classmates took turns to slap him, showed the video. The teacher was also heard in the video asking the students to hit him hard. The court directed the UP government to conduct counselling of the victim, and other students involved in the incident, by professional counsellors.
