Education authorities in southern India have suspended a teacher for forcing his students to eat cow dung.
It's believed the teacher imposed the punishment because pupils laughed when he fell off a chair while sleeping in the classroom.
The teacher, Basavarajappa, has been accused of ordering a student to bring cow dung into the classroom and making his colleagues eat it - four times.
Parents made complaints to the management of the government school at Arundi after the children refused to attend classes.
When the school management apparently failed to act on the complaints, the parents took the matter to education officials who ordered the teacher's suspension.
