A private school in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad has been directed to expel a teacher following the circulation of a shocking video depicting him violently assaulting a student. The incident has prompted action from the District Education Officer (DEO) as the video gains traction online.

According to the sources, the disturbing event occurred on September 24 at approximately 8:00 AM. CCTV footage reveals the teacher approaching a student's desk and forcibly pulling him by the hair. The teacher then drags the student to the front of the classroom, where he violently bangs the child's head against the blackboard.

In a further escalation of aggression, the teacher pushes the child against the blackboard and delivers multiple slaps, all while other students watch in disbelief. This shocking display of brutality has led to widespread outrage and demands for accountability.

In response to the viral video, the DEO of Ahmedabad has issued notices to both Madhav Public School and Divine Gurukulam, the two institutions involved, requesting clarification on the incident by this evening. The DEO has indicated that further steps will be taken to ensure accountability once all details are gathered.

Moreover, the DEO has stated that the teacher in question will face immediate expulsion from his position, emphasizing a zero-tolerance policy for violence in educational environments.

The incident has sparked a wave of condemnation from parents and community members, calling for stricter regulations to protect students from abusive behavior. Local authorities are now under pressure to address the issue and implement measures that will prevent such occurrences in the future.

As the situation unfolds, both schools are expected to respond promptly to the DEO's notice, providing clarity on the actions taken in light of this alarming event.
