A girl was allegedly stripped in class by a woman teacher in West Bengal after she ignored the latter’s diktat on dress code, police officials said on Thursday.
The Class 7 student of the Beri Gopalpur Adarsha Uccha Vidyalaya in Gaighata area of North 24-Parganas district faced the humiliation after she did not follow instructions on wearing a specific uniform on Thursdays.
“As I didn’t wear a particular dress I am supposed to wear on Thursday according to school rules, the teacher stripped me off my skirt in front of the whole class,” said the student.
The girl’s family later lodged a police complaint.
The school managing committee said the teacher had been taken to task and that she gave an undertaking not to repeat her action.
