Parents speak to media
Speaking to ANI, a parent said "On February 20, when kids from grade 2 were on a picnic, two outsiders also accompanied them which wasn't informed to any parents. We don't know the due diligence or the process through which they're selected for the picnic. One man molested 8-10 children, teachers are denying, they are saying that they were keeping an eye and nothing had happened, but eight children can't lie."
"Teachers are denying it, and management has accepted but only about the negligence in appointing the third party and they're blaming it entirely on the third party. We are demanding the resignation of the teachers and management involved who planned the picnic trip. We have filed an FIR against the teacher, management, principal and the criminal," she added.
