When the teacher Huligeppa saw the child soiled his uniform he was so furious that he sprinkled hot water, coming through a pipe, on the child. The boy’s family has been told not to complain about the incident. According to the police, as there was no complaint against the teacher concerned, they could not take any action. Similarly, the officials of the Women and Child Welfare Department also kept mum over the issue.
