Asha Singh (35) alleged that her daughter Anjira (13), a student of Mogaveera Vyavasthapaka Mandali High School in Andheri, was assaulted by the school's director Indu Salian over non-payment of school fees.





'Not fair'

Asha had reportedly not paid a daily fee of Rs 25 that accumulated to Rs 5,700 by November. Asha has now filed a complaint with the Amboli police.

"My daughter was as good as molested. She came home with scratch marks and was crying. She is undergoing counselling.

I was ready to pay the fine, but the authorities did not entertain my requests to meet them, as I thought the fine they were imposing was unreasonable.

Why did they have to hit my daughter? This is outrageous!" said Asha.

The Other Side

Vice president of the school trust S K Salian said, "The mother has been instigating the parents to act against the management, but we did not want the child's progress to be compromised.

The police have made their inquiries and her allegations were found to be baseless."
