| It is the sort of footage that can move even stoic news journalists to tears.
For nearly three minutes, three young visually challenged children are caned. The assaulter, allegedly the school principal, also visually challenged, delivers blow upon blow. The children can be seen and heard screaming, begging to be spared.
In response, the teacher grabs hold of one of them and bangs his head against the floor. Another adult, not clearly visible in the footage, helps him.

A police case has been registered and the state's Child Rights Commission has said it will separately investigate the horror.
Sources say there are 62 children enrolled at the school, which is residential. The district administration has not yet taken a call on whether the children should be moved out, and if yes, relocated to where
