Bhopal School Accused of Forcing Child to Drink Tap Water
A parent says teachers at a private school in Bhopal made an eight‑year‑old girl drink water from a washroom tap instead of the school cooler.
The child was also slapped, beaten with a scale, made to stand on one leg, and was not given lunch.
The parents wrote a complaint to the local police, but the police did not register it at first.
They then asked the minister, Vishvas Sarang, who helped get the police to act.
The girl was taken to Hamidia Hospital for a check‑up.
A video of parents fighting with the principal went viral on social media.
The school has not responded to the allegations.
The case shows how parents can use government help to address school problems.
It also shows how quickly social media can spread a story.
The outcome of the investigation is still unknown.
