The incident took place at Government Primary School in Kiratpur village under Naugaon police station limits.

According to eyewitnesses, the drunk man abused teachers and threatened students from outside the school premises. The sudden violence created chaos inside the campus, forcing teachers to focus on safety instead of teaching.
Staff members said that if the man had entered the school, the situation could have turned dangerous.
In-charge principal Ramsiya Patel said no police complaint was filed to avoid disturbing peace in the village. She explained that teachers and staff have to visit the village daily and feared more trouble if the matter was reported. The issue was settled locally due to fear of further violence.
School staff later revealed that the incident occurred around 15 days ago, in the last week of December. However, the video surfaced only on January 16, as teachers were scared to share it earlier.
The video came out only after it was confirmed that the accused had left the area.
This is not the first such case in Chhatarpur. Earlier, a school principal was shot dead by a student at a school near the district headquarters, raising serious concerns over school safety.
When contacted, District Education Officer Pandey downplayed the incident, saying the matter was settled and no one was harmed. Meanwhile, District Panchayat CEO Namah Shivay Jariya said action would be taken if required under the law.
