Lucknow: As punishment for defecating inside the classroom, a private school in Muzaffarnagar rusticated a Class 1 student. The incident occurred at Saraswati Shishu Vidya Mandir school, where a 5-year-old student defecated in the classroom, according to reports.
Following this, the student's name was struck off by the school principal, Ram Kumar Sharma. Anirudh Bhardwaj, the child's father, stated that the principal refused to meet with him. He claimed that the principal suggested that he clean the child.
