Muzaffarnagar: A group of girls at a residential school in Muzaffarnagar were allegedly threatened and forced to strip by the Principal, following which an inquiry has been ordered into the incident.
According to a complaint filed by the parents of the victims, the students of Kasturba Gandhi Residential School at Digri village were on Thgursdsay forced to strip by the Principal.
The Principal allegedly threatened the students of dire consequences if they disobeyed her command, District Primary Education Officer Chander Kesh Yadav said.
An enquiry has been ordered, he said.
"There was no teacher around. We were called downstairs (from the hostel). Madam made us take off our clothes saying she will beat us if we did not. We are kids, what could we do? She would have beaten us if we did not obey her," one of the students said.
The Principal, however, has denied the allegations.
Meanwhile, 35 out of the total 65 students of the school left after the reports of harassment by the Principal surfaced.
