I highly condemn, beating the student such mercilessly allegedly at Maharishi Sandeepani Vedic Vidya Sansthan, Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh.
The accusation, for merely sleeping on another student’s bed. Such violence can never be justified over something so trivial.

Is this justified? In the name of discipline,a Child is beaten mercilessly,reportedly in some Gurukul type institution.
Imagine if no one had recorded it, how would such incidents even come to light?
