Bengaluru School Under Fire for Locking Students in Dark Room Over Fee Disputes
A private school in Bengaluru, Orchid International School , has sparked outrage after allegations surfaced of students being locked up as punishment for unpaid fees. Parents have strongly criticized the practice, calling it a form of emotional and mental harassment that could adversely affect their children’s academic performance.
Reports suggest that the school has threatened students with severe consequences if they voice complaints. Alarmingly, this is not an isolated incident; other schools in Bengaluru have also been accused of similar punitive actions, such as locking students in dark rooms or libraries during class hours for reasons ranging from fee arrears to tardiness or misbehavior.
Parents Demand Accountability
Outraged parents have lodged formal complaints with the Education Department and the Child Safety & Protection Department. They are calling for strict measures, including revoking the licenses of schools found guilty of such practices. Parents argue that such actions violate the rights of students and demand immediate intervention to protect their children.
