Shocked students keep away from school premises in Hadli village, Nargund taluk of Gadag district, while Education Minister inquires doctors at KIMS Hospital about health of injured woman
The teacher, who beat up a 10-year old boy to death, attacked the boy’s mother, a teacher and also another teacher at Hadli village in Nargund taluk of Gadag district on Monday, has been arrested by the police.
Superintendent of Police of Gadag district Shivaprakash Devaraju told presspersons on Tuesday evening that the 35-year-old accused, Muttappa Hadagali, a native of Hadli village, who went absconding after the ghastly act, was arrested near Ron Cross on Tuesday afternoon.
He said that the accused admitted that he had come on Monday with a plan to attack the teacher, Geeta Baraker, and all those related to her.
Mr. Devaraju said that the accused also said that he had had a relationship with Geeta Baraker, which, however, is yet to be ascertained.
But, prima facie, it appears that they were in some kind of relationship for the last four or five months as their WhatsApp chats have revealed, Mr. Devaraju said.
Mr. Devaraju said that differences cropped up between them after a school excursion a month ago, during which Geeta Baraker reportedly moved closely with Sanganagouda Patil, a permanent teacher in the same school.
Mr. Sanganagouda Patil, who too was attacked by the accused, is getting treatment in a Nargund hospital.
