Shah also tendered apology.

DIOS Uday Prakash also confirmed that the development. “Yes, I have spoken to the principal over the issue. He has given a clarification in written,” he said.

The victim, a Class XI student of biology stream, said she was unaware of the development as she didn’t attend the college due to Sunday.

However, on Saturday, when the girl reached school she was called by principal who asked her to collect her transfer certificate.

“He (principal) told me that I created a tamasha (scene) by blowing the matter out of proportion,” the victim told reporters.
