A story has come to light on the internet where a student was subjected to an orthodox way of punishment after his unkempt hairstyle bothered the school principal.

The sister of the victim, Sehar Mukhtar, uploaded a Twitter thread about her account of what the principal did to her brother. The sister alleged that the principal grabbed her brother by the neck and hair and also snipped the front part of his hair as the principal was bothered by the length of the haircut.

The sister added that her brother was priorly asked to cut his hair on the 11th but as there was a wedding that was coming up in the family, her brother had asked permission from his teacher, to which she agreed. However, even after getting the approval of the teacher, her brother was subjected to an archaic form of punishment as the school principal, V Muralidharan allegedly grabbed the 14-year-old student by his neck and chopped off his hair without any consent from the parents or guardians.

However, the actions taken by the principal go against the policy of the school as the policy suggests that if a student has a haircut that is not suitable for the school, the school authorities will first give a verbal warning and if the student continued to ignore the warning, the student will be sent home with a note.

The sister got to know about the information after her brother came home weeping and told her about what transpired at his school. The sister alleges that her brother was traumatized and felt helpless as well as humiliated by the principal as the principal stated that bald children can attend weddings.

The family also alleges when they confronted the principal of DPS Budgam, the principal showed no remorse for his actions and even defended their actions on carrying out such actions. The sister also added that 7 other students accompanied by a teacher were sent outside the school premises to a local barber who gave them a haircut without the consent of the family or parents.

The sister also alleges that one of the 7 students was also subjected to physical violence by the school officials as slapped them. The sister and the family are seeking actions against the school authorities for mentally and physically abusing the child as well.

Sehar Mukhtar also added that this trend of disciplining the student was once considered normal, however, it shouldn’t be considered a norm now in 2022. Following the social media post by the sister of the student, many users condemned the actions of the school authorities and sought actions.

Bihar government cabinet

A major cabinet expansion took place in Bihar on Thursday, with 32 leaders from the ruling NDA alliance inducted into the state government. Among the prominent names was Nishant Kumar, son of former Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, who entered the cabinet for the first time.

The expansion included representatives from all major NDA allies in the state. According to reports, the BJP secured 15 ministerial berths, while JD(U) got 13 positions. Two ministers were inducted from Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), while Hindustani Awam Morcha and Rashtriya Lok Morcha received one berth each.

The oath-taking ceremony was held in Patna in the presence of senior NDA leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.

Nishant Kumar’s induction comes weeks after he formally entered active politics. His entry into the Bihar cabinet is being viewed as a significant development for JD(U), which had long projected an anti-dynasty image under Nitish Kumar’s leadership.

The cabinet reshuffle follows Nitish Kumar’s move to the Rajya Sabha earlier this year and the formation of the government led by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary.
