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

Ex-Army officer assaulted, robbed at gunpoint by woman he met through matrimonial website
Mathura(UP), Apr 5 (PTI): A retired Army colonel from Haryana has filed a police complaint here, alleging that he was held hostage, assaulted, looted and forced to participate in an "obscene video" at gunpoint with a woman he met through a matrimonial website, police said on Saturday.
The woman from Mathura, who was allegedly in on the plan to rob him, was working with other accomplices, the ex-armyman said in his complaint filed on Thursday.
According to Barsana Station House Officer (SHO) Raj Kamal Singh, Colonel Rajneesh Soni (retired), a resident of Gurugram, reported that he was contacted by a woman from Barsana on a matrimonial website in January. The woman allegedly agreed to marry him, and they began communicating.
The woman allegedly persuaded the colonel to visit Barsana on January 25, requesting that he visit the Radharani temple. When he arrived, she arranged for his stay at a guest house and took him on a tour of the area, including a visit to the temple, the complainant said.
After returning to the guest house, the woman and her accomplices allegedly told the colonel that her brother had been involved in an accident and they needed to leave immediately. They then led him to a waiting car.
"Once outside the town limits, the colonel alleges that he was attacked by the occupants of the car. They seized his phone, physically assaulted him, and forced him to contact relatives and friends to transfer money," the SHO said.
"He was then taken back to the guest house, where he was allegedly forced to participate in obscene videos and photographs at gunpoint. He was threatened that the videos would be made public if he reported the incident," the officer said.
The colonel has alleged that his purse, bag, gold chain, debit card and Rs. 12,000 in cash were stolen from the guest house.
After an unsuccessful attempt at locating the perpetrators himself, the colonel finally reported the incident to the Barsana police two days ago, he said.
"A case has been registered under relevant sections of the BNS and all facts are being investigated. Further action will be taken as per facts found in the investigation," the SHO said.
