As per the media report, about 18 students were locked in a room and subjected to corporal punishment by a teacher at a government school in Haflaganj area on 21-08-2025. Their ordeal ended when some parents, who were at the school for work, raised the alarm.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The NHRC observed that if the news report was true, it raised serious issues of human rights violations. It issued notices to the State Chief Secretary and the Superintendent of Police, Katihar, calling for a detailed report on the matter within two weeks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Reportedly, following the incident, several villagers gathered and protested at the school, and sensing trouble, the male teachers fled the premises.
