Eight year old Muslim boy slapped by classmates at teacher’s egging in Uttar Pradesh

Muzaffarnagar: The teacher who is accused of asking students to hit their classmate as a punishment to the kid has today issued a clarification. The teacher who is identified as Tripta Tyagi defended her actions after the video of the incident went viral on social media. The teacher said that she was physically handicapped so she could not stand up to personally punish the kid. Hence, she asked the other students of the class to hit the kid. The incident occurred at Neha Public School in Muzaffarnagar.
Teacher Tripta Tyagi issues clarification
Tripta Tyagi in her statement claimed that the video is fake and also it has been hampered to defame her. She said “I made a mistake by getting the child beaten up by the students. I am handicapped and could not get up, so I asked the students to beat the child. The video has been tampered with.” The video of the incident is going viral on social media and the teacher is facing ire for her inhumane actions against the child. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is also facing criticism after the video of the teacher has gone viral on social media.
The teacher while speaking to News Agency said that “The video that was made viral was edited and cut, I had no such intentions. In our place, Hindus and Muslims stay with unity and we have more Muslim students in our school. There was pressure from the parents of the child to be strict with him. I am handicapped I can’t get up. He was not doing homework for last 2 months. So I made 2-3 students beat him up so that he would start doing his work. What I said was ‘Muhamdan mothers must not take their kids to their uncles’ homes as the exam is approaching. But they cut this video and took the ‘Muhamdan’ word. I had no such intentions. I have made a mistake and I seek apology with folded hands.”
Father reacts, seeks justice
The father of the kid who was beaten in the school appealed that law should take its course and that juistice must prevail. He said that the video was shot by his nephew who went to the school for some work. The student’s father said that “My son is seven years old. This incident happened on 24th August. The teacher made the students beat my child again & again. My nephew made the video and had gone to school for some work. My seven-year-old child was tortured for an hour or two. He is scared. This is not a Hindu-Muslim matter. We want the law should take its own course.”
Incident that occurred in the school
The teacher can be heard in the viral video saying that the mothers of these minority students do not pay attention to the education of their kids and this hampers the studies of other students. She then ordered other students in the class to hit the kid. Other kids in the video can be seen hitting and slapping the student on his face and back. The teacher also filmed the incident on camera. Probe has been ordered in connection with the incident. The teacher also accepted in her statement that she did wrong by asking other students to beat the kid.
Opposition attacks BJP
Opposition is attacking BJP for the teacher’s action. They are blaming BJP for spreading hate against the minority community in the country. Earlier, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav shared the video of the Uttar Pradesh Police’s statement on social media and said that BJP is to be blamed for the teacher’s actions. He also said that the BJP must show this video in the G20 Summit and also prove to the world that their hate-spreading agenda in the country is correct.
Akhilesh Yadav slams BJP over the incident
Akhilesh Yadav said that “In a viral video from Muzaffarnagar, a teacher is seen getting a minority child thrashed by other children. In this she is guilty of double crime because she is beating and making other children violent. The BJP government should show this video in the G20 meeting to prove how its hate agenda is correct. Such a teacher is a blot on the society, teachers of the whole country should raise their voice to punish that teacher.”

The aircraft, operating as Flight AI-171 from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick, plunged into a residential complex near BJ Medical College, killing 241 people on board.
The ill-fated flight had 230 passengers, 10 cabin crew, and two pilots. According to officials, only one person, a British national of Indian origin seated in 11A, survived the crash and is currently undergoing treatment at a local hospital.
The aircraft took off from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport at 1.38 p.m. (IST) on Thursday before losing control moments later and crashing into a densely populated area, igniting a massive blaze and triggering emergency response teams across the city.
Air India confirmed the accident in an official statement on X: “UPDATE: Air India confirms that flight AI171, operating from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick on 12 June 2025, was involved in an accident.

Plastic nurdle spill from sunken cargo ship reaches TN’s Dhanushkodi sanctuary, raising alarm

Chennai, June 10: A plastic nurdle spill from the sunken cargo ship MSC ELSA 3 has spread into the newly declared Dhanushkodi Greater Flamingo Sanctuary in Ramanathapuram district, threatening one of India’s most fragile coastal ecosystems.
The MSC ELSA 3, a Liberian-flagged vessel, sank off the Kochi coast a few weeks ago while carrying 640 containers, including 13 with hazardous materials, 12 with calcium carbide, 367 tonnes of furnace oil, and 84 tonnes of diesel.
The ship’s cargo manifest remains undisclosed, fuelling speculation about the full extent of environmental risk.
Dhanushkodi Sanctuary, located within the Gulf of Mannar Biosphere Reserve, supports 128 species of birds — including Greater and Lesser Flamingos — and is home to sea turtles, crustaceans, molluscs, and fish. Its dunes, marshes, and seagrass beds form part of the Central Asian Flyway for migratory birds.
The nurdles — tiny plastic pellets used in industrial manufacturing — resemble fish eggs and can be deadly to marine life. When ingested, they cause internal blockages, starvation, and often death. They also absorb toxins, entering the food chain and posing long-term health hazards.
About 80 bags, each weighing 25 kilograms, have reportedly washed ashore along a 12-km coastal stretch. Affected sites include the Dhanushkodi old church, Irattaithalai, Mugandharayan Chathiram, Gothanda Ramar temple, and Patchappatti village.
Carried by ocean currents from the Thiruvananthapuram-Kanniyakumari coast, the spill now threatens the adjacent Gulf of Mannar Marine National Park, home to vital coral reefs and seagrass beds.
Experts warn these habitats could be smothered by plastic debris, blocking sunlight and disrupting photosynthesis.
Ramanathapuram District Collector Simranjeet Singh Kahlon said, “We’ve identified between 15 and 30 nurdle bags along the coast. A special team has been deployed for cleanup, and additional teams are monitoring for further debris.”
He urged the public not to panic, stating that swift action was underway.
The disaster evokes memories of the 2021 X-Press Pearl incident in Sri Lanka, where 1,680 tonnes of nurdles led to mass marine deaths and crippled fisheries.
Studies showed severe impacts on plankton and larval life forms, threatening entire food chains.
Cleanup efforts in Ramanathapuram face challenges due to the nurdles’ buoyancy and small size, worsened by monsoon waves that break them into microplastics.
With the 61-day annual fishing ban nearing its end, fishermen fear reduced fish catches and consumer hesitancy could harm their livelihoods if the spill worsens.
Environmentalists are calling for urgent intervention, cargo transparency, and long-term containment measures to prevent irreversible damage to one of India’s most critical marine ecosystems.

Eight Punjab and Haryana HC judges take lead to boost Kashmir tourism post Pahalgam terror attack

Srinagar, June 9: To give a boost to Kashmir tourism post Pahalgam terror attack, eight judges of the Punjab and Haryana High Court are visiting the valley along with their families.
The visit of the legal personalities along with their families carries a powerful message for the revival of tourism in Kashmir, which got shattered after the Pahalgam terror attack.
On April 22, Pakistan-backed terrorists of Lashkar-e-Kashmir (LeT) killed 26 civilians, including 25 tourists and a local pony owner.
The pony owner sacrificed his life while trying to protect the tourists from the bullets of the terrorists.
The terror attack caused outrage in the entire country, and to avenge the killings of innocent civilians, the Indian Armed Forces carried out airstrikes against terror infrastructure in Pakistan under Operation Sindoor.
In retaliation for India’s attack on terrorist infrastructure, Pakistan resorted to heavy mortar shelling on civilian facilities in Poonch, Rajouri, Baramulla, Kupwara and Bandipora districts.
Eighteen civilians were killed in Pakistan shelling, 13 of them in Poonch district, in addition to the destruction of scores of homes, shops, a temple, a mosque, a church and a Gurudwara.
The itinerary of the visiting high court judges includes visits to the Mughal Gardens of Nishat and Shalimar, Shikara rides on the Dal Lake, a visit to the historic Pari Mahal and buying a few handicrafts at the local market.
There could be no better omen for the revival of tourism in Kashmir than the decision of the honourable justices of the High Court to come here along with their families.
Coinciding with the visit of these dignitaries, local tour and travel operators and hotel owners are reporting a gradual rise in the tourist bookings that had virtually stopped after the Pahalgam terror attack.
Tour and travel operators and others connected with the tourist industry have expressed hope that the visit by the most respected legal dignitaries, like the high court judges, will restore confidence among visitors, both domestic and foreign, that Kashmir is a safe tourist destination.
