Girl paraded naked in school for not paying fees

A class three student was paraded naked on her school premises after her family failed to pay the school fees, in Faridabad, Haryana. The nine-year old girl is a student of Faridabad Model School in Sector-31. The victim's parents, who are entitled to a full-fee concession, had actively participated in an agitation against a fee hike by the school recently. "Since I didn't attend school on Thursday, I was forced to take off my T-shirt. When my teacher caught my skirt, I told her not to do that. When I asked why she was doing it, she said it was the principal's order. Then I was asked to stand half-naked for a long time and when I tried to cover myself, she asked me to stand straight," the girl said.
