In a meeting with the state education minister held on March 20, the authorities of Dahisar's Rustomjee International School were asked to submit some documents to the education officer regarding the issue of fee hike raised by parents, and wait till a report was issued before taking any action against students.

However, instead of waiting for a response from the BMC education office, the school removed 48 students stating that their parents had not paid the fees. Hence, the education officer sent a show cause notice to the authorities asking them to reply within seven days.
