Kolkata, Oct. 11 -- A teacher of a private play school in New Alipore was arrested after she allegedly slammed a child on the floor out of anger which led to a fracture in the two-year-old's leg.
According to police sources, the accused, identified as Sananda Pal, allegedly lost her temper when the toddler began crying during class hours on Friday. In a fit of rage, Pal picked up the child and slammed the toddler onto the floor. The impact left the toddler with a severe fracture to the right leg.

Acting swiftly on the complaint, the police registered a case against the teacher on charges of voluntarily causing grievous hurt under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) along with punishment for cruelty to child under the Juvenile Justice (JJ) Act. Pal was later arrested.
