A five-year-old boy in Varanasi was allegedly burned with a hot knife by his preschool teacher as punishment for accidentally urinating in his pants. The child's father has filed a police complaint against the teacher and the school, Serene Sony Play School, after the administration was reportedly uncooperative.
A legal advocate’s five-year-old son was allegedly subjected to severe physical abuse by his preschool teacher in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, after an accidental urination incident. On July 24, the young student asked permission to use the restroom at Serene Sony Play School. The boy unintentionally soiled his pants after his class instructor rejected him, according to India Today.
The instructor became enraged and dragged the youngster into another room, according to the father's legal complaint. She then ignited a gas stove, heated a knife until red-hot, and used it to burn the boy’s private parts.
According to the complaint, the instructor beat the boy and threatened to punish him severely if he reported the incident or committed the same error again.

The child’s father visited the institution in person the next day, but both the principal and the manager reportedly refused to address the matter or help the family.
