‘Jitne bhi Mohammedan bachhe’
On Friday, a video went viral on social media, showing the students taking turns to slap their classmate as the boy stands there crying in humiliation and pain while the primary school teacher, Tripta Tyagi, keeps egging his classmates to continue the assault.
“Jitne bhi Mohammedan bachhe hai (all the Muslim students here)…” the teacher can clearly be heard in the video as she encourages other students hit the boy with more force. “Why don’t you hit him with force,” Tyagi tells one of the students after he hits the boy.

The incident had sparked outrage from all corners of the society as the teacher’s actions were allegedly driven by communal hatred because the boy belonged to the minority community.
On Saturday, Muzaffarnagar Police booked Tyagi for making communal comments and ordering her students to slap a Muslim classmate for not doing his homework. The school was also served a notice by the state education department in connection with the matter.
“Tripta Tyagi was booked a day after a video showed her asking her students to slap the Class 2 boy at Neha Public School in Khubbapur village and also making a communal remark,” police said.
‘I am handicapped’
Earlier, Tyagi had tried to justify her actions under the garb of “disciplining the child” and that she asked the students to slap their classmate as she was “handicapped” and could not do so herself.
“The student had been asked to memorize a lesson but he failed to do so for months, so I had to discipline him. I am handicapped so I asked his classmates to slap him so he would learn a lesson and start taking his homework more seriously,” Tyagi had claimed.
This is Tripta Tyagi, teacher who beaten up Muslim kids because of their religious identity.
She says that she is handicapped thus she asked other students to beat Altamash.
She is right, she is handicapped but with her mentality.#ArrestTriptaTyagi pic.twitter.com/RiVYmeVyDy
