My daughter was forced to go outside the examination room. She was humiliated which has made a deep impact on her mind,' said Devendra Kumar, whose daughter studies in Class 1 of the school.

Another parent Kumar Kaushlendra said: 'Why should the students be punished for the fault of their parents? We have already paid school fees up to June month. The school administration move aims at torturing students and harassing parents. We will take the issue to the Jharkhand Educational Tribunal.'

However, an official of the school management said: 'There is a clear cut instruction that the school fees should be paid by the 25th of every month.'
