Indian teacher arrested for giving electric shocks to kids

A teacher in Bhusaval in Maharashtra’s Jalgaon district has been arrested for using electric shocks to discipline his students.

Sumant Mishra gave 22 students mild shocks using equipment in the physics laboratory at the school because they were not paying attention in class. Mishra was arrested on Monday but was released on bail.



"Our information is that Mishra administered the shocks with an eliminator available in the physics laboratory. Though no student was seriously injured, the incident has horrified and scared the students," Jalgaon DSP Shantaram Waghmare said.

The shocks were mild but the students were traumatised and complained to their parents.
