CCPCR chairperson Shipra Bansal said she had received complaints about the incident and has sought an explanation from the school. “While there have been no formal complaints made to the authorities, we will check from our end as it’s a serious offence. We have roped in officials of the cyber cell of the police as well to check on what had happened.”

UT director school education Harsuhinder Pal Singh Brar said he had also not received any complaint but has sought more details from the school.

As cold conditions become severe, the UT education department has called for online classes for students of classes below 8. The incident occurred on Tuesday during the math online class of Class 6. It was not clear who had played the alleged video and no statement has yet come from the school.
