A boarding school in UP’s Bijnor district allegedly confined over a dozen students to the school dormitory for over a fortnight for failing to submit two months’ fee. The children, including those of Class I, were not allowed to attend regular classes or sports in the evening.
This came to light after parents of two brothers, who were among those confined, informed the authorities. The students were rescued and handed over to their guardians.
The incident took place at Roots International School situated in Bijnor, about 100km from Delhi. The English medium school is affiliated to CBSE. Bijnor additional district magistrate S B Tiwari said a police complaint has been lodged. The school refused to comment.
