Kakinada: A shocking and disturbing incident has come to light from Andhra Pradesh’s Kakinada district. Parents and students have accused the English teacher at Yandapalli High School of using casteist slurs and derogatory language against students from the Dalit community, reported NDTV.
“You belong to a filthy caste… Do you think SCs are some kind of special people?” parents said, quoting the children. The protest took place in front of the high school in U Kottapalli Mandal.
The accused teacher has been identified as Srinubabu. Reportedly, he has been consistently humiliating and harassing students from the Dalit community.
No Response From Headmaster
The affected students and parents had first lodged a complaint with headmaster Bhushan regarding Srinubabu’s behaviour. However, the lack of a proper response from the administration led the affected parties to escalate the matter, culminating in a protest against the alleged institutional indifference and harassment.
