The thrashing left them with swollen legs and some of them even fainted because of the cruel action.
Sources also mentioned that the young girls were hospitalised and are under observation at a government hospital.
Naturally, parents were furious over the incident. Many of whom gathered in the school compound the moment the young women were hospitalized. They started bashing the school for its ruthless behaviour and shouted slogans against the treatment followed. Majority of them are demanding strict action against the school's principal.
When asked if any FIR was lodged regarding the incident, a senior officer said, "The matter also came to our notice but neither the parents nor the girls were willing to lodge a complaint.”
