UP teacher encourages Hindu students to slap Muslim student of class, video viral
Muzaffarnagar (UP): An undated video depicting a teacher allegedly encouraging Hindu students to slap a Muslim student has gone viral, prompting a response from the Muzaffarnagar Police in Uttar Pradesh. The official Twitter handle of Muzaffarnagar Police announced, "The station in-charge of Mansoorpur has been directed to investigate and take necessary action."
The video features a teacher, identified as Tripta Tyagi in some reports, seemingly engaging in a conversation with someone off-camera. In the video, the teacher can be heard saying, "I have declared jitne bhi Mohammedan bachhe hai..." which translates to "I have declared all the Muslim kids..." She appears to be encouraging Hindu students to physically harm a Muslim student in the class.
The video captures one student physically assaulting another, presumably the Muslim student, who can be seen in distress. The teacher's voice can be heard urging the students to deliver more forceful blows. She says, "Aey kya tum maar rahe ho iske.. jor se maaro naa...chalo aur kiska number hai," which translates to "What are you doing? Why are you not beating him harder? Come on, whose turn is it now."
Another student joins in and strikes the Muslim student as instructed by the teacher, targeting the waist area.
Sources indicate that the incident occurred at Neha Public School in the village of Khubbapur in Muzaffarnagar. The students in the video are seen sitting on the floor.
After the video surfaced, journalist and fact-checker Mohammed Zubair shared additional information on Twitter, stating that the father of the Muslim student, Irshad, decided not to send his son Altamash to school anymore. According to Zubair, the teacher apologized in the presence of the police, and Irshad chose not to file a formal complaint against the teacher.
It is a case of HATE CRIME.

Tripta Tyagi tortured 8yo boy because of his Muslim identity.
Can't Muslim organizations in UP file a complaint against Tripta and her school??
Tag Muslim politicians and ask them to open their mouth.

Two arrested in K'taka for assaulting minors, uploading CSAM content
Bengaluru (PTI): Two men were arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting two minor girls, recording the acts on mobile phones and uploading the videos online as child sexual abuse material, police said on Thursday.
The accused have been identified as Kiran Kumar (29), hailing from Chitradurga district, and Aditya M K (20), hailing from Shivamogga district, they said.
A probe was initiated after information was received from the NCRP portal regarding a suspected instance of creation of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) for online dissemination, police said.
Accordingly, a case was registered at Kaggalipura Police Station under relevant sections of the IT Act on May 10, they added.
Investigation revealed that two minor girl victims were exploited and videos were created and uploaded to the internet. The child victims have subsequently recorded their statements as per procedure and further necessary legal steps have been taken, Pronab Mohanty Director General of Police, Cyber Command, said in a statement.
Based on the statements of the victims, the accused persons, who allegedly assaulted the minors, recorded the acts on mobile phones and uploaded the videos online, were arrested, he said.
Following the probe, sections 65(2) (rape) and 70 (gangrape) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with relevant sections of the POCSO Act, have been added to the FIR, police said.
Officials collected relevant information and on May 12, arrested the accused persons and seized three mobile phones belonging to them, in which the videos had allegedly been recorded, he said.
The accused were later produced before the court and taken into police custody for further investigation, he added.
According to him, in CSAM cases, police usually apprehend offenders who have downloaded such content or have kept them in their possession after obtaining them from elsewhere, usually the internet.
"The present case is one of the very few instances where content creators and uploaders have been apprehended," Mohanty added.
