Under fire Kolkata school bans corporal punishment

Under pressure from all quarters following the alleged suicide of a student after being caned by the principal, the elite La Martiniere School for Boys in Kolkata on Friday banned corporal punishment. "No child will be subjected to physical punishment and mental torture and whoever contravenes such provisions, shall be construed a major violator of rules and if found guilty, shall be liable for disciplinary action," the school's board of governors said in a notification.
