GURUGRAM: Two folks have accused DPSG, a personal faculty in Gurugram, of creating their daughters, both 10 years previous, sit down at the naked ground for 2-3 hours in chilly weather for now not paying their tuition rate.
The faculty's fundamental has denied the fees, claiming the parents had "distorted" precise occasions to trump up accusations of harassment in opposition to the school, which has been in a prolonged war of words with folks and the district administration over rate hike. Last May, the school had closed for a couple of days after what it described as "unruly" protests by way of folks on and out of doors its campus. The fundamental also claimed that some lecturers had gained text messages with references to Yamunanagar the place a pupil shot useless the school's fundamental in her place of business.
The two folks have filed formal lawsuits in opposition to the school — Ravi Kumar with Gurugram police and Ashok Kumar, a Delhi Police sub-inspector, with the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR).
"Even people accused of crimes are provided with blankets and bed sheets in jail. But some students of of classes III to V, including my daughter, were asked to sit on the floor for 2-3 hours," Ashok Kumar told this correspondent on Monday. "School authorities want to shame theses children in front of others. It is a shocking act in which children were mentally and physically harassed because of non-payment of fee."
Ravi Kumar mentioned he filed a criticism at Palam Vihar police station closing Friday. Referring to an incident closing Christmas, he mentioned in his criticism, "They put all children, including my daughter, who did not pay the fee in a room and made many sit on the floor. This not only caused her (his daughter) physical harm but also left her emotionally and mentally scarred." The police have sought a reply from the school management.
The faculty was once called Chiranjeev Bharti when many of its present scholars took admission. It changed to DPSG (Delhi Public School, Ghaziabad Society) in 2016. This brought in a new management and a new rate construction that many parents had been uncomfortable with and started protesting in opposition to. "We got to know that the school was bought over and the fee was increased. I made many appeals and requests to the principal and management seeking a rollback to no avail. My daughter had fallen ill on December 25. She told us despite the cold weather, she was made to sit on the floor with some other children who not pay fees," Ravi Kumar alleged.
DPSG fundamental Deepika Sharma mentioned no such punishment had been meted out to the kids. "The children were practising for a cultural function. The matter is being distorted," she mentioned. "The parents had threatened our teachers. They had sent texts asking teacher if they had forgotten the Yamunanagar incident. The allegations against us are totally false. We did not mete out any such punishment to children."
Vikram Nehra, SHO of Palam Vihar police station, mentioned an investigation could be performed as soon as the school replied. "We have sought the school management's response as well as CCTV footage from the school campus," Nehra mentioned.
