Girl Locked Up In School

A class 2 student of a government school here was left locked in the classroom, a senior official said on Friday.

A seven-year-old girl remained locked up in a school in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal for 18 hours after the staff went home without checking if any child was left behind.

Around 24 students of Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya at Behjam in Lakhimpur Kheri district were allegedly locked on the roof of the school by two teachers to pressure the district authorities into cancelling their transfer orders, officials said.

The parents of the students from an all-girls school in Hauz Qazi allege that children were confined in the basement from 7:30 am to about 12:30 pm in extreme heat.

Over a week after the Christ Church School incident, where an 11-year-old girl died after being locked up in the school bathroom by her seniors for several hours, trouble is now brewing at Kolkata's Jadavpur University.
