The class-teacher told us the incident happened to our daughter at our home,” the student’s mother said on Saturday.

The student’s father said, “My daughter identified two among the thirty school staffs, whose photos were shown to her.” The school authorities stated, “The school has thoroughly investigated the matter including going through hours of CCTV footage and tracked the movement of the child inside the school on the day the misconduct was alleged to have taken place. CCTV footage was shown to parents also. The police has also gone through the footage as well as interrogated several members of staff and teachers.”
