The principal shot a video and sent it to a parents' group. The video has now gone viral.
Angry at parents not paying fees, the principal of a school in UP's Siddharthnagar district made more than 50 students sit in the scorching sun outside the gate. He also shot a video warning the parents that while he would allow the students in this time, every defaulter would be sent home in the future until the fees were paid.
The video from Shyamraji High School in Siddharthnagar's Itwa has now gone viral, sparking outrage on social media. Terming the incident shameful, the district inspector of schools has said that he will investigate whether the school is registered and take appropriate action.
In the two-minute video, young boys and girls can be seen sitting crammed onto the path leading to the school gate, with fields on both sides, and hiding their faces to avoid being identified and shamed.
