The minister further stated that this behavior is unacceptable and he has instructed the District Police Officer (DPO) of Jehlum to arrest the teacher. “These corporal punishments (beating, shaming) scar our children’s minds forever. Just received this video. Down pointing backhand. Unacceptable behaviour. I’m on it. Have instructed DPO Jehlum to arrest him now. If need be I will register an FIR,” Vawda said. 

Earlier yesterday, a video of a teacher went viral as he was seen beating minor girls in his class. In the video, the teacher is seen repeatedly hitting two girls as one of them screams and cries for help.
