Bangalore: Spare the rod and spoil the child -- a proverb completely ignored by 11-year-old Sangeetha's teachers.

A sixth standard student of the Vinod English High School in Bangalore, Sangeetha was physically tortured by seven of her teachers on Thursday.

The teachers said that Sangeetha hadn't done her homework well enough. This little girl now has injuries on her head, hands, legs, and back.

"All the subject teachers came and beat me up in front of everyone," said Sangeetha.

Sangeetha's parents, distraught at their child's state, are lashing out at the school authorities.

Says her father, K Kuttappa, "We will not send her to that school again. We will register a complaint against the school. It does not even have qualified teachers."

A case has been registered against the school at the RMC Yard Police Station. But the State Women's Commission says it's not enough.

Says Chairperson, State Women's Commission, Pramila Nesargi, "The Education Department must suspend the license of the school and see that the school does not function anymore."

It was only last week that the National Commission for protection of Child Rights directed all states to check incidents of corporal punishment. Yet this brutal incident clearly shows that these directions are yet to be taken seriously.
