Claim: News report on the death of a student who lost his life after a teacher slapped him forty times.
Fact-check: Video edited from clips of three different old incidents is shared as a Child beaten to death by his teacher recently - FACTLY
Verdict: the video in the post was created using three different clips of incidents in which teachers slapped or beat their students. in the first incident in lucknow, a teacher slapped a child named sunny forty times over, for not saying 'yes, ma'am. the teacher was suspended for her actions. sunny did not lose his life in this incident. the second video is about a child named shivam who lost his life after his tuition teacher kehav gautham beat him badly. this happened in mathura, uttar pradesh. the third news report is of the alleged murder of a student by her coaching teacher in kota, rajasthan. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
