The shocking incident, captured on CCTV, has sparked widespread outrage on social media, raising concerns about discipline and safety in schools.
According to police reports, the 18-year-old student, identified as Mohammed Khan Ansari, lost his temper when the invigilator asked about his late arrival. Eyewitnesses said the student reportedly shouted, “No one asks me anything at home, so who are you to question me?” before slapping the teacher on her cheek, pushing her, and fleeing the classroom.

The CCTV video of the incident went viral, showing the teacher visibly shocked and frightened by the sudden attack. As some students confronted the boy, he reportedly escaped the classroom. The footage quickly triggered public outrage and debates over school safety and student conduct.
Reports revealed that the student returned to the school on January 27 with his father and a group of 15–20 people, allegedly threatening the teacher and warning her of harm.
Police filed an FIR on February 3 against the student, four named individuals, and the 15–20 others involved. Three accused have been arrested so far.
Police Inspector Ankur Chaudhary confirmed that a reconstruction of the incident was carried out in the presence of the teacher to understand the sequence of events. The accused were later produced in court and granted bail.
The student claimed that he returned to apologise to the teacher and staff, although the allegations of threats remain under investigation.
