With no teacher or caregiver present, the children began crying out of fear and tried to open the door. During this time, one of the boys started biting another child, while the third stood still in fear.

The footage showed the child biting the boy 25 times over a period of approximately 15 minutes, between 11 am and 11:30 am, with no staff member present to intervene. Muzaffarnagar: PT Teacher Brutally Thrashed With Shoes by Student’s Family After Argument Over Entry At School’s Annual Function, Police Respond After Video Goes Viral.

The boy continued to groan in pain for nearly 45 minutes, but the headmistress, class teacher, or any other staff member did not look into the room.

Injuries And Delayed Information To Parents

The boy suffered severe injuries to his face, nose, lips, chest, back, and legs, officials said.

According to officials, the school administration did not inform the child's parents about the incident until 2 pm. When they arrived to pick him up, the daycare's principal told them the boy had "only suffered scratches."

However, when the parents removed his clothes, they were shocked to find severe injuries all over his body. The child was admitted to a private hospital in the city for treatment.

Case Filed, Allegations Of Hush Money

A complaint was filed by the parents at a nearby police station, following which a case was registered against six staff members of the daycare. Those named include CEO Shubham Maheshwari, a resident of Pune, managers Mangesh Musale and Vaibhav Sawade, principal Kanchan Yewale, and the female caretaker.

The boy's parents alleged that the school management had offered them INR 10 lakh and three years of free education for their child in exchange for not filing a case. The management also allegedly told them, "you can't harm us."

Investigation Underway, No Arrests Yet

The Education Department has initiated an investigation into the school. However, no arrests have been made so far.

According to reports, the school lacks the necessary municipal permits.
