6th July 2012
Almost a week after a group of parents of students studying at Dr S Radhakrishnan Vidyalay in Malad (W) submitted a written complaint to the commissioner of police about alleged harassment of their children by school authorities, the education department will conduct an inquiry into the matter.
On July 3, the Malad police had called for a joint meeting between the school authorities and parents to verify the claims of parents. But the management sent out a letter to the cops at the last minute, asking them to defer the meet till July 5. "We were not surprised with this move by the school because they know they are at fault," said a parent. The meeting has now been postponed and will be held on July 7.
For over a year now, a group of parents have been protesting against the school's fee hike calling it "arbitrary" and had refused to pay fees. They then alleged that their children were constantly being targeted and harassed by school teachers following which they had lodged a complaint with the Malad police station. After repeated requests to the police to look into the matter, the parents finally wrote to the commissioner of police.
"We will verify the claims of the parents," said a senior education official. School authorities remained unavailable for comments.
