Gonda (Uttar Pradesh): A school in Gonda district in Uttar Pradesh has certified a 9-year-old boy as characterless in his Transfer Certificate in a bid to punish him for complaining against his teacher. The move could hamper the child's admission in any other school and can also destry his career, said a parent. According to reports, the boy studies in Class 5 in Chatarauli village. He had got into a quarrel with a few of his classmates last month for which the teacher allegedly thrashed the boy.

Despite the boy's parents lodging a complaint against the teacher with the school principal, the latter had refused to act on the matter. Upset over the inaction, the parents threatened to withdraw their child from the school.
