Two teachers of a private school near here
landed in trouble after they allegedly snapped the " rudraksha mala"
worn by a student and also beat him up for wearing it police said. Cases have
been registered against Armstrong and Neethianand on charges of beating up
K.Saravanachandran of class seven at C.K Mangalam near here ,police said.
Both the teachers, were absconding, they said.
Saravanachandran's friends had warned him against wearing the mala in school
as the physical education teacher [Armstrong] would not like it.But the boy
maintained that there was nothing wrong in it as it was his personal matter.
Armstrong and Neethianand lost temper when
they saw Saravanachandran wearing the mala on Friday and asked him to remove
it. when the boy refused the hit him and snapped the necklace.
