The incident happened at around 1.55 pm when the duo entered the campus and ran into a few school teachers who asked them to leave the premises. The two accused had then brandished a knife at a teacher as well, before leaving the premises without harming anyone.

The teachers said the duo, alleged to be in an inebriated state, told them that they had to collect house keys from a student, who they claimed was their sister. School principal Manjeet Kaur Gill, meanwhile, said, “I have informed the department verbally about the incident but we will send the written report on Thursday. We will also try to confirm whether we actually have a girl by that name in the school or not.”

Calling it an “unfortunate incident”, director school education (DSE), Harsuhinder Pal Singh Brar, said, “We will review the security protocol of all the schools so that such incidents are not repeated and I appreciate the teachers who ensured that there was no harm done to any of the students.”

“I have asked to file a complaint with the police and also send me a written report of the incident. We will request the police authorities to assist in this regard,” he added.
