A class seven student, Chetan Ramule, lost vision in his right eye after his school teacher threw a pen at him.

"I was talking to a boy in the fifth period. Maam was talking over the phone. She threw a pen at me and it hit me in my eye. I was crying and maam asked me to wash my face. I told her that I cannot see anything. She said that I was faking it. I came to my home and told this to my mother. Then I went to the doctor," Chetan told ANI.

The police reached the Jain Central High School and are investigating the matter.

Chetan stated that the teacher, Nitu Singh was talking over the phone and as the students started talking among themselves, she got angry and threw the pen at him (Chetan), thus damaging his vision.

After getting to know about the incident, Chetan's parents started creating chaos in the school premises.

The police, have, however, taken the statements of both the student and the teacher, and have found teacher to be guilty.

Meanwhile, the school authority is trying to hide the matter.
