Rohtas Administration Orders Probe
Rohtas District Magistrate Deepak Kumar said an inquiry team had been formed after officials became aware of the video.
He said action would be taken against the person responsible for the smart classroom, while the students involved would also face action in accordance with applicable education department guidelines.
The administration's response has brought attention to the supervision of students and the manner in which facilities provided for digital education are being used.
Questions Over Smart Classroom Supervision
Smart classrooms have been introduced in schools to supplement conventional teaching through digital learning tools and technology-enabled resources. The incident has now raised questions about whether adequate supervision was in place when the students were inside the facility.
Officials are expected to determine how the students gained access to the classroom, who was responsible for supervising them at the time and whether school guidelines governing the use of the facility were followed.
