AGRA: Following the Supreme Court directive in the UP school slapping case, police in Muzaffarnagar have added a more stringent IPC section 295-A-deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs – against the teacher, Tripta Tyagi, who was accused of encouraging students to slap their classmate, an eight-year-old Muslim boy.
DSP Ravi Shankar Mishra told TOI, “During the investigation, IPC section 295-A has now also been added. Earlier, a case was registered against Tripta Tyagi under IPC sections 504 (insulting someone intentionally to provoke them) and 323 (voluntarily causing hurt). Further probe is on. Both 504 and 323 are “bailable” while under the “non-bailable and cognizable” 295-A the accused “may face a prison term that may be extended to three years, with a fine, or both.”
