Class 5 student allegedly makes 2 girls drink urine in MP school

A Class 5 student at a government-run school in Madhya Pradesh's Guna district allegedly mixed urine in a water bottle and made two female classmates drink it, officials said.

The incident took place on Monday at a primary school in the Aron development block, prompting authorities to order an investigation and issue a notice to the school principal.

The two girls allegedly approached the principal after the incident, but he told them to eat a Rs 10 chocolate if their mouths tasted bad, Guna District Magistrate Kishore Kumar Kanyal said.

“Two girls alleged that some students made them drink urine from water bottles, and when they complained to the principal, he allegedly behaved inhumanely and told them, ‘If your mouth tastes bad, eat a Rs 10 chocolate,’” Kanyal said.

The girls' family members and local villagers gathered at the school on Tuesday, raised slogans demanding strict action and later locked the school premises.

Manjusha Khatri, Sub-Divisional Magistrate of Aron, said that after receiving information about the incident, the tehsildar and Block Education Officer (BEO) were sent to the school. The principal was subsequently served a notice.

The BEO has been directed to investigate the incident and submit a report within two days, following which strict action will be taken, officials said.

Kanyal said the alleged act was committed by a student from the same class and that the child and his parents had been summoned.

“I have ordered an investigation. This entire mischief was committed by a student in the same class. His parents and the child are being summoned. A notice has been issued to the principal,” he said.

Authorities suspect that more male students could have been involved in the incident.

As the situation escalated on Tuesday, administrative officials reached the village with a large police contingent and recorded detailed statements from the two girls, their families and the students allegedly involved, Khatri said.
