Summary
A secretly recorded classroom video from Japla, Jharkhand, shows Laxmi Shishu Vatika principal Shashikesh Kashyap lining up young students—mainly girls—and slapping them one after another.
The clip shows Kashyap punishing children over writing-related issues, including asking one girl why she "made them write" and another why she took help from her elder sister.
The children are seen crying and visibly distressed, turning the footage into a flashpoint for online anger over alleged physical abuse at a play school.
Social media users have urged authorities including Jharkhand Police, child-rights bodies and education officials to suspend the principal immediately and open a formal investigation.
The backlash has also revived demands for mandatory CCTV monitoring in play schools, with parents seeking stronger safeguards for very young children in classrooms.
