A Class 3 student at a primary school here allegedly suffered a severe eye injury, leading to a loss of vision in one eye, with accusations directed towards the school principal, an education department official said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Authorities have initiated an inquiry into the incident that happened on Tuesday at Bhogpur Mithoni Primary School after the victim’s mother, Jyoti Kashyap, lodged a complaint against the principal, Geeta Karal, to the District Magistrate.<\/p>\n

In her complaint, she claimed that her daughter, Himanshi, was blinded due to the severe injuries inflicted by the principal.<\/p>\n

However, Principal Geeta Karal denied the allegations, saying Himanshi already had a weak eyesight.<\/p>\n

She said,” The injury occurred when a classmate, Benazeer, was completing her work and accidentally struck Himanshi’s face with her elbow, causing swelling in her eye.” The situation escalated when Himanshi’s mother visited the school the same day, requesting a medical certificate from the principal.<\/p>\n

When her request was denied, Jyoti allegedly threatened the principal. The principal clarified that she was not authorised to issue any medical reports.<\/p>\n

In response to the incident, Moradabad Basic Siksha Adhikari (BSA) Ajit Kumar said on Thursday that an inquiry had been initiated under the supervision of Additional BSA Shivam Gupta.<\/p>\n

“The inquiry will investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident, and appropriate action will be taken after its completion,” he said.<\/p>\n
