Ahmedabad: A senior teacher at Tripada School in the Ghatlodia area was suspended on Tuesday after allegedly slapping a Class 9 student during a lecture, triggering protests by the student’s parents.

According to information, the incident took place during an English class when the teacher, Nishanand, reportedly became irritated by the sound made by the student while using a whitener. The teacher allegedly asked the student to stand, took him aside, and slapped him multiple times, leaving the student distressed.
