Hindutva group vandalises school in Madhya Pradesh over principal’s ‘WhatsApp status on Lord Ram’
Jabalpur: In a disturbing turn of events, a group of protesters associated with a Hindutva group stormed a school in Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur district after its principal allegedly posted a controversial WhatsApp status regarding Lord Ram.
The protesters demanded an apology and threatened further agitation unless police took action against the principal, as reported by The Indian Express on Wednesday.
The protest was ignited by a viral post allegedly containing comments against Lord Ram, TIE report stated while quoting a senior leader of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP). The post rapidly gained traction online, triggering the outrage of local religious activists. In videos shared across social media, protesters are seen tearing down posters and vandalising property, including smashing the windows of the school.
“Activists arrived with mud-filled bags, which they threw inside the school premises despite the presence of police and school staff. The protesters also smeared black paint on the school walls to express their outrage,” TIE quoted a police officer as saying.
The officer further noted that the authorities are investigating whether the post was uploaded by the principal or if it was fabricated, possibly involving AI technology. “The school principal will be questioned soon. We have deployed additional force here to maintain the peace,” the officer added.
The school administration has so far not responded to the allegations against the principal
