In a disturbing case from Bengaluru, a mother has accused the management of a private school in Sunkadakatte of brutally assaulting her nine-year-old son with a PVC pipe while the school owner allegedly watched without intervening.

According to the police complaint filed by Divya Shankar (30), a resident of Hoysalanagar, her son, Nayan Gowda C S, a Class 5 student at St. Mary’s Public School on Pipeline Road, was beaten inside the school premises on October 14 between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m.

Divya alleged that the school principal, Rakesh Kumar, assaulted her son with a plastic PVC pipe, leaving him injured and bleeding. When the frightened child tried to flee, a teacher identified as Chandrika allegedly held him down, enabling the principal to continue the beating.

The complaint also states that the school owner, Vijayakumar, was present during the incident but did not intervene. Instead, he allegedly stood by as the assault continued. Divya said her son has been left physically injured and mentally traumatised by the ordeal.

When she confronted the school authorities, Divya claimed she was warned not to “ask too many questions" and was threatened with retaliation if she spoke out. The management allegedly told her to take her son’s transfer certificate (T.C.) and leave the school.

She has requested police protection for her family and demanded strict action against the principal, the teacher, and the school owner.

Police confirmed that a case has been registered and an investigation is underway. Officials said the child will undergo a medical examination to assess his injuries, and CCTV footage from the school is being reviewed as part of the probe.
