In Tamil Nadu, parents were caught on camera chasing and thrashing a teacher for allegedly abusing and beating up their children. The incident was reported from Keezhanambipuram near Ettayapuram and the teacher who received beating of the parents was identified as Bharath.

It was a typical Monday morning at a government-aided school in the Tuticorin district of Tamil Nadu. R Bharath, a teacher in charge of a class of second graders, was busy with his daily routine of trying to get the students to pay attention and focus on their studies.

The incident began when a student in Bharat’s class, a young boy, started misbehaving and disrupting the class. Bharath asked the child to change seats, hoping that a change in environment might help him settle down and focus. However, things didn’t go as planned.

Later that day, the boy’s parents and grandfather went to the school, demanding an explanation for the alleged beating. Bharath denied any wrongdoing, but the situation quickly escalated, with the parents and grandfather becoming increasingly agitated and aggressive.

A three-minute video captured the entire incident. In the footage, the parents can be seen barging into the classroom, yelling and screaming at Bharat. The father, Sivalingam, takes things even further, attempting to attack Bharath with a brick.
