Later, the school issued an apology and deleted the program’s video from its social media. Instead of taking action against the mob, local authorities have initiated an investigation against the school.

Ever since the beginning of Narendra Modi’s rule in India, violence against Muslims has increased manifold. Recently, a video of a Hindu teacher asking students to slap a Muslim student had gone viral.

The school was shut down by the authorities and a case against the teacher, identified as Tripta Tyagi, was also registered.
