ROHTAK: Eight Class-12 students of Moti Lal Nehru School in Sonepat’s Rai town have been booked for allegedly beating up their geography teacher on Saturday evening.

The teacher, Pramod Roy, in his police complaint, said he was in the academic block of the school around 7.40pm when the students reached there and started thrashing him with sticks. When he raised an alarm, some teachers rushed to his rescue and took him to a government hospital in Sonepat, where he is undergoing treatment.
