Guna (Madhya Pradesh): The problem for Guna-based Christ Senior Secondary School management and principal could increase manifold as the district court here in Guna dismissed the bail plea of the school manager and principal in the 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' row.

Notably, Guna police included the names of the school principal and the manager in an FIR after the Child Rights Commission panel visited the school and recorded the statement of the student. The commission directed the local police to name management and the school principal in an FIR under the relevant section.
