KHARIK (BHAGALPUR): In a spine-chilling incident, a private tutor shoved a pen into the eyes of his 11-year-old student when she made a mistake in her exercise book. A badly injured Ashmeen Khatoon of the Poorvi Tola locality here is undergoing treatment in Kolkata while a Naugachhia court on Tuesday ordered the police to lodge an FIR against the teacher. Ashmeen's father Mohd Gayaas said on February 11 evening he heard the cries of Ashmeen from the room where she was being taught by Pankaj Sharma. He had hired Sharma recently for imparting tuition to Ashmeen. When he reached there, he saw him mercilessly beating the child for some mistake in the exercise book. "Even as I intervened, Sharma shoved the tip of his ballpoint pen into the left eye of my daughter," he recalled, adding Sharma fled on seeing blood oozing out of Ashmeen's eye. Gayaas rushed his daughter to Dr B L Choudhary, an ophthalmologist based in Naugachhia. The doctor referred her to Kolkata, where eye specialist Dr S K Chakravarty examined her and found the eye's cornea damaged, Gayaas said, adding he moved the court because officials of the local Kharik police station did not entertain his complaint. Naugachhia SDPO Dinesh Kumar said police have taken the matter seriously. "A case is being instituted against the teacher," he said.
