Several people staged a protest against the alleged assault of a teacher by a mob which claimed that he had thrashed a student in the city’s prestigious school, as per news report on Saturday.
At least 20 people have been arrested by police in connection with the incident.
S Baskar, a physical education teacher with a private matriculation school here, was allegedly thrashed by a mob.
The attack followed alleged beating of a class eight student by Baskar which was, however, denied by the school administration.
As regards the allegation that the boy was beaten up, police said it will be probed by school education authorities.
Government Rajiv Gandhi General Hospital Dean Dr R Vimala said the condition of the teacher, who is being treated at the hospital, is stable.
