Mumbai: Students of Vikhroli school humiliated, given forced haircuts
The incident took place at Kamal Vasudev Vayakule English Medium School in Tagore Nagar locality of Vikhroli.
In yet another case of atrocities taking place in educational institutes, nearly 25 students were humiliated by the director, physical training (PT) teacher and office assistant of their school in Mumbai's Vikhroli on Thursday.
The trio chopped the hair of the students for not following the prescribed haircut. Some of the students even suffered injuries caused by scissors. Mortified by the incident, family of the students approached the Vikhroli Police. Following the incident, the accused trio was booked for cruelty and injuring the students.
The incident took place at Kamal Vasudev Vayakule English Medium School in Tagore Nagar locality of Vikhroli.
Sources said that the school director had intimated the student about the prescribed haircut few days ago. However, on Thursday, the director identified as Ganesh Bata, PT teacher Milind Zanake, and office assistant Tushar Gore enforced the rule in a humiliating manner.
The students were from class V and VII. Sources said that traumatised after the incident, the students cried inconsolably for hours. One of the students said that they were held and pinned down before they were given haircuts. According to the police, when parents sought an explanation from the school management they simply did not entertain them.
Despite the claims by students, the school director has denied any such incident. He has ordered an inquiry into the matter.
