Two kids in Dimla upazila of the district got hospitalised with injuries as their schoolteachers beat them mercilessly for 'failure' to prepare lessons yesterday.

The victims are Nahid Hasan, 5, son of Shahin Alam, and Manosi Rani 4, daughter of Manik Chandra Roy, hailing from Dimla Sadar union of the upazila.

Nahid is a Class I student of Dakkhin Titpara Government Primary School, and Manosi is a playgroup student of Dilruba Mohikul Kindergarten.

Shefali Begum, headmistress of Dakkhin Titpara Government Primary School, mercilessly beat Nahid with a bamboo stick at about 11:00am yesterday for not memorising lessons as directed by her, Nahid's father alleged.

Manosi's father told journalists that Abu Raihan, assistant teacher of Dilruba Mohikul Kindergarten, beat his daughter so cruelly that she fainted in the classroom at about 9:30am.

Both the kids bore several injury marks and got fever, the guardians said.

Being informed from different sources, parents of the injured kids rushed to the respective schools and rescued them.

As they brought the victim kids to Dimla upazila nirbahi officer and sought justice, the latter immediately summoned upazila primary education officer Rabiul Islam and directed him to report within two days after investigating the incidents on an urgent basis.

The two injured kids were admitted to Dimla Upazila Health Complex at noon.
