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.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
