Indian school girl 'forced to beg' over poor grades
Police in the southern Indian city of Mysore have arrested a wealthy man for allegedly making his daughter beg as a punishment for poor school grades.
The man, named only as Prakash, was arrested under the juvenile misuse act after the girl was seen begging outside a temple in her convent school uniform.
He says he did not physically punish her but wanted her to see "how tough life is without proper education".
The 12-year-old girl has been placed in a government child-welfare centre.
