On Thursday, a disturbing incident unfolded in a Bhopal-based private school where the director, Abhinav Bhatnagar, claimed that Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) workers demanded money for student enrollment. When he refused, chaos erupted, and he was allegedly manhandled.
The Madhya Pradesh ABVP unit has staunchly denied these accusations. Despite the denial, the police have registered a case against some individuals, based on Bhatnagar's complaint, and have initiated a probe into the incident.
The altercation occurred in the afternoon as a group entered the school, ransacked the premises, confined the school's chairman, and allegedly assaulted Bhatnagar. He was promptly taken to a hospital. A viral video of the incident has sparked widespread attention. So far, no arrests have been made.
