The Muslim boy who was slap🐻ped by fellow students at the order of their teacher in 𒊎Uttar Pradesh's in Muzaffarnagar has been disturbed by constant queries about the incident and has had troubles sleeping since the incident, said his family. 

In a video, the boy's teacher Tripti Tyagi was seen making fe♏llow students slap him. She was also heard making a communal remark. 

The video led to widespread outrage and led to multiple investigations launched against the teacher. The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (N🗹CPCR) and UP education departmeꦬnt have opened investigations into the case. The police have also filed a non-cognizable report into the matter. 

Separately, the UP government has said the boy would be admitted to the government primary school in the boy's village if the family would agree to it. 
 
"After complaining of being upset and not able to sleep throughout last night, the boy was brought to Meerut for a checkup. The doctor said that the boy was normal. He became disturbed due to several people including reporters asking him about the Neha Public School incident," said Irshad, father of the boy, 𝓡to PTI. 

Separately, the education department said it is open to admitting other students too in the government♕꧟ primary school. 

"The father of the boy who was slapped does not want his son to continue his studies t🤡here (Neha Public School). The block education officer spoke to the boy, and he expressed his willingness to study in the government primary school in the village. On Monday, his enrolment will be done in the government school, provided his family is willing to do so," Muzaffarnagar Basic Shiksha Adhikari (BSA) Shubham Shukla told PTI.

When asked about a compromise with teacher Tyagi, the b♛oy's father said there will be no compromise with her. 

The department will also facilitate the transfer of other students studying in 🤪Neha Public School in Khabbupur village where th🐠e incident took place on Friday, said officials to PTI. 

"There is a government primary school in the village. Children who want to go there will be enrolled there. Students, who wish to continue study in the private school, can do so si𝔉nce th♈ey are already paying the fees. The formalities including transfer certificates (of the children) will be completed by the department, so that the parents do not face any additional burden," said Shukla.

Meanw🐬hile, when asked about enrolment of his son to a government school, Irshad said that the family has not decided about this as the bo🍸y is disturbed, reported PTI.

The education department has also formed a team to look into a mat♌ter and file a report by Monday, reported PTI, adding that a notice has also been served to the school.

The PTI earlier reported, "Basic Shiksha Adhikari of Muzafꦡfarnagar Shubham Shukla said that a show cause notice has been served on the school management through the secretary of the management commꦿittee Ravinder tyagi. It has been asked to furnish its response by August 28 as to why the government recognition of the school not be cancelled. A criminal case would be registered against the authorities of the school, where the incident took place, the BSA said, adding that a team has been sent there."
