Two children, both girls, were allegedly stripped and thrown out of their school in Bihar’s Begusarai as their father was unable to pay the fee for their school uniform on time.
One of the girls is a Class I student and the other is in Class II. The incident took place on Friday. The father, Chunchun Sah, had gone to pick up his daughters when a teacher asked him to bring the money for the uniforms immediately.
The school in Sikraula village, in Koriya panchayat, had given school uniforms to the two girls. “I pleaded for some time, but the teacher stripped my daughters in front of everyone,” Mr. Sah said. He then complained to the police. The school’s principal and a woman teacher have been arrested, Sub-Divisional Police Officer Rajesh Kumar said.
State Education Minister Ashok Choudhary termed the incident insensitive and said stern action would be taken.
