Muzaffarnagar: A teacher of Uttar Pradesh,Tripta Tyagi, who asked other students to slap a Muslim boy in a school here surrendered at a POCSO court and was released on bail, an official said on Friday.
Tripta Tyagi was caught last year in a video asking children to slap a boy in a school where she taught.
She has been booked under the charges of voluntarily causing hurt, insult, malicious acts, and intending to outrage religious feelings.
Additional District Judge (POCSO) Alka Bharti on Thursday granted her bail and ordered her to furnish two sureties of Rs 25,000 each.
She posted the matter for further hearing on Saturday.
Kapil Ahlawat, Tyagi’s lawyer, told PTI that Tyagi had surrendered in the Special POCSO court on Thursday and sought regular bail.
On November 23, the Allahabad High Court rejected her plea for anticipatory bail and directed her to surrender within two weeks. (With Agencies Inputs)
