Madhya Pradesh: Class 7 students abused over incomplete homework at Sehore school
At St Angel School in Sehore, Madhya Pradesh, several seventh-grade students were reportedly stripped naked and left standing outside in the winter cold as punishment for not completing their homework.
The incidents reportedly took place earlier this year, before November, in Jatakheda village.
What happened next
Staff made students clean playgrounds, sweep floors, and water plants as further punishment.
A guard allegedly poured oil on them and assaulted them on the principal's orders, while the school driver threatened to cut project marks if they didn't obey.
After a video of the abuse surfaced, parents and local groups protested. District Education Officer Sanjay Tomar called the actions "unacceptable and cruel."
The principal, guard, and driver were removed from their jobs, the school was fined ₹1 lakh, and police are investigating and legal action will be initiated after probe.
Tomar warned that repeat offenses could cost the school its affiliation.
