According to the reports in the BR Educatin Academy in Sikraula village in Koriya panchayat, the two young girls, both sisters, were stripped and thrown out as their father failed to pay the price of their school uniform on time.
One of the girls was a Class I student, while the elder one was studying in Class II. The incident took place on Friday when the father of the students, Chunchun Sah went to pick up his daughters after school, where a teacher asked him to bring in the money for the uniforms immediately.
The school had provided uniforms to the two girls who were supposed to pay for them.

The principal N K Jha and a female teacher Anjana Kumai have been arrested, Sub-Divisional Police Officer Rajesh Kumar said.
