PRAYAGRAJ, July 12 -- A headmistress of a government primary school in Kaushambi district has been booked after she allegedly hit a man with a slipper during a dispute over the issuance of a transfer certificate (TC). The incident came to light after a purported video of the argument surfaced on social media. Hindustan Times could not independently verify the authenticity of the video. Police said an FIR was registered at Charwa police station against Anita Devi, headmistress of Tika Ka Pura Primary School, on a complaint filed by Anuj Kumar Yadav, a resident of Aliganj village under Kokhraj police station limits. A police investigation has begun, while the education department has also ordered a separate inquiry. According to the complaint, Yadav's cousin, Chanchala, studied at the school up to class 4 and the family had been trying to obtain her transfer certificate. Yadav alleged that when he and his uncle's brother, Manoj Kumar, visited the school on July 9 to collect the document, the headmistress asked them to produce the student's Aadhaar card. Yadav alleged that when Manoj Kumar started recording the conversation on his mobile phone, the headmistress tried to snatch the device. During the scuffle, the phone fell to the ground and was damaged. He further said that the headmistress got up and hit him with a slipper. A purported video of the incident later went viral on social media. Deputy superintendent of police (Chail) Shivank Singh said the FIR had been registered on the basis of the complaint and the complainant had undergone a medical examination. "The headmistress has been booked on the basis of the complaint. The investigating officer has been directed to conduct a fair investigation and take action accordingly," Singh said.
