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.

US sanctions 15 Indian entities among 275 for supporting Russia's military-industrial base
Washington (PTI): The US has imposed sanctions on 275 individuals and entities, including 15 from India, for allegedly supporting Russia’s military-industrial base.
Companies from China, Switzerland, Thailand, and Turkiye have also been slapped with sanctions for supplying Russia with advanced technology and equipment that it desperately needs to support its war machine, the Department of Treasury said in a statement on Thursday.
In addition to disrupting global evasion networks, this action also targets domestic Russian importers and producers of key inputs and other material for Russia’s military-industrial base, the statement said.
“The United States and our allies will continue to take decisive action across the globe to stop the flow of critical tools and technologies that Russia needs to wage its illegal and immoral war against Ukraine,” Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo said.
“As evidenced by today’s action, we are unyielding in our resolve to diminish and degrade Russia’s ability to equip its war machine and stop those seeking to aid their efforts through circumvention or evasion of our sanctions and export controls,” Adeyemo said.
The State Department has also targeted sanctions evasion and circumvention in multiple third countries, including several China-based companies exporting dual-use goods that fill critical gaps in Russia’s military-industrial base and entities and individuals in Belarus related to the Lukashenka regime’s support for Russia’s defence industry, the statement said.
The US also targeted several senior Russian Ministry of Defence officials and defence companies and those supporting Russia’s future energy production and exports.
As per the list released by the Department of Treasury, the India-based companies are Abhar Technologies and Services Private Limited; Denvas Services Private Limited; Emsystech; Galaxy Bearings Ltd; Orbit Fintrade LLP; Innovio Ventures; KDG Engineering Private Limited; and Khushbu Honing Private Limited.
The Indian companies also include Lokesh Machines Limited; Pointer Electronics; RRG Engineering Technologies Private Limited; Sharpline Automation Private Limited; Shaurya Aeronautics Private Limited; Shreegee Impex Private Limited; and Shreya Life Sciences Private Limited.
On Wednesday, the US had imposed sanctions on nearly 400 entities and individuals for enabling Russia’s illegal war against Ukraine.
"The Department of State is targeting sanctions circumvention by parties in multiple third countries, several senior Russian Ministry of Defence officials and defence companies, and those that support the development of Russia’s future energy production and exports," Secretary of State Antony Blinken had said in a statement on Wednesday.
The US, he said, is imposing sanctions on several Chinese companies exporting dual-use goods that fill critical gaps in Russia’s military-industrial base as well as entities and individuals connected to the Lukashenka regime’s support for Russia’s defence industry.
