Bangalore, January 19: A three-and-a-half- year-old girl who playfully bit her classmate was allegedly stripped and made to sit on a bench by a pre-school principal. The incident took place on Monday at Mukunda Public School, said the girl’s parents.
The parents are devastated by the humiliation of their child in front of her class and reported the incident to Karnataka Commission for Protection of Child Rights, which has noted their complaint.
The commission has summoned the school-owner, Chowda Reddy, principal Vasuma and class teacher Jansi. Chowda Reddy denied the incident.
“My daughter returned home terrified. She repeatedly said she’d never go to school,” said the girl’s father, whose name is being withheld to protect the child’s identity.
