30 Aug 2014 4:29 AM IST
Demanding action against principal of the prestigious Scindia School for allegedly not handling the recent ragging incident properly that led to a suicide attempt by Adarsh Singh, son of Bihar minister Jai Kumar Singh, parents today staged a protest here in this connection.
Nearly 50 parents formed a human chain at Phoolbagh in support of their demands.
‘So far, no action has been taken by the district administration against the principal and the vice principal despite Supreme Court’s clear directives that the head of the school is equally responsible for the incidents of ragging,’ All India Parents Association’s Gwalior Chapter President Sudhir Sapra said.
He also demanded the Gwalior Collector to make public the letter he had written to police after the probe report was submitted recommending action against the accused persons. Sapra also demanded the CBSE to act against the school in this regard.
On August 20, 14-year-old Adarsh Singh, son of Bihar Cooperatives Minister Jai Kumar Singh, had allegedly tried to commit suicide after he was ragged by three senior students.
The three students were later expelled by the school, while the two staffers who were supposed to maintain discipline on the campus were debarred, after a three-member internal committee constituted soon after the incident submitted its report in the matter, Scindia School Principal Samik Ghosh had earlier said.
The minor boys as well as the school staffers were subsequently arrested by the police and later released on bail, a police official said.
