TEACHER ARRESTED FOR KILLING UNTOUCHABLE
by: Myghatee Sigfher
NEW DELHI-Sucharet Dhangut, teacher at Ankzai
dooli shala, was arrested for reportedly killing
an untouchable student last night. The untouchable,
Kajilghti Dhanji, answered a question about
the British rule in India and Dhangut found it
inappropriate. Dhangut started beating Dhanji
with the writing sticks that were readily available
in the dooli shala. Dhangut whipped Dhanji over 120
times until he died, where Dhangut continued to lash
Dhanji. When reporters asked Dhangut what Dhanji said,
Dhangut had no comment. Is this yet another unjust
cruel act made just because of Dhanji's caste, or
did Dhanji deserve the fate he recieved? The judges
will tell on January 12th, the date of Dhangut's
hearing.Dhangut is being charged with manslaughter.
