A disturbing CCTV video from Visakhapatnam shows six-year-old Pranay Teja being scolded and slapped by his teacher at Little Garden School. Moments later, the child collapses into the teacher's lap and is rushed to hospital, where he is declared dead.
The precise cause of Pranay's death is yet to be established. Whether the slap was directly responsible, whether an underlying medical condition was involved, or whether extreme distress contributed are questions for investigators and medical experts to determine.
