In a troubling incident in Gujarat's Panchmahal district, a class 12 student assaulted a female inspector following a reprimand for arriving late to his examination. The incident occurred on January 24 at S.J. Dave High School in the town of Shehra, where the student slapped the teacher and cited a lack of attention at home as justification for his aggression, provocatively asking her, 'Who are you to question me?'. The shocking incident was captured on the school’s CCTV, which later went viral, igniting public outrage across the community.

According to police reports, after the altercation, the student fled the classroom but later returned with his father and a group of 15 to 20 others, threatening the teacher with harm. However, the student claims that he meant to apologize to the teacher along with his peers. The police continue to investigate the matter, with Inspector Ankur Chaudhary mentioning that they have recreated the sequence of events to better understand the dynamics of the incident.

The incident has raised questions about student behavior, respect for educators, and the role of parents in guiding young people. As the story has circulated widely, local authorities are now under pressure to ensure the safety of teachers in educational environments and to address the underlying issues that may lead to such aggressive confrontations in schools.
