"My son had only gone to eat gol gappa with the other kids and they were being a little naughty," the boy's father said.
"For this, the principal meted out such a punishment which could have endangered my son's life."
"Sonu is very mischievous… he bites children, he also bites teachers. His father asked us to correct him. So, we tried to scare him. He was hung upside down from the upper floor for fear," the principal said.
Vishwakarma was later arrested under the Juvenile Justice Act, according to police.
