The death of a 15-year-Dalit boy, who was allegedly beaten by a teacher from his school in Uttar Pradesh's Auraiya district, has sparked massive protests.
The boy was allegedly thrashed by his school teacher Ashwini Singh, reportedly from an upper caste, on September 7 just because he had made a spelling error in a social science test at the school.
The boy, Nikhit Dohre, died on Saturday night at a private hospital, and his body was handed over to his family last evening after a postmortem.
The members of Bhim Army and locals from the area then took Nikhit's body to the school where he studied, and staged a sit-in protest, demanding action against the accused teacher who is on the run.
