The teachers called Boopathy and subjected him to corporeal punishment resulting in the boy’s parents and relatives besieging the school. Tiruvannamalai district CEO Ganesamurthy and DEO Santosh visited the school for an enquiry and based on their findings, the CEO ordered the suspension of teachers Venketraman and Dilip Kumar while teachers Nityanandam and Pandian were transferred with immediate effect.
