When the students went again today, the school was closed. “It is matter of the future of our children. We want justice”, said Chand Singh Rana, a student’s guardian. The school is recognised till Higher Secondary. Alok Singh is running the school for the last five years.

After learning that the school director was not available anywhere in the City, the parents went to the MP Board of Secondary Education Secretary J N Malpani to register their complaint. There they were told that the Alok Singh took 30 examination application forms from him (Malpani) but failed to submit them within the stipulated time.

Malpani said that a reminder letter was sent to the director asking him to submit the forms. But the board did not receive any response from him, he added.

Parents of the children lodge an FIR against Alok Singh in the Gautam Nagar police station under Section 420 (fraud) and 406 (criminal breach of trust).
