This comes after a video surfaced of a school student giving a guard a facial, and another student was seen sweeping and cleaning the school premises while the staff were watching over them. The video has shocked netizens.
There have been several incidents where students have been made to do things they are not supposed to in a school. Last year, the headmistress of a school in Bengaluru was suspended after a video, purportedly showing students cleaning the school toilet, went viral, news agency PTI reported.
