The Gujarat government has sought an explanation from a school in Gandhinagar over the allegations of a teacher cutting off Rakhis from the students' wrist.

Times of India reported that some parents complained to the education department that a teacher at Mount Carmel High School had cut off Rakhis tied on the students' wrists with scissors. This, the parents complained, happened a day after Rakshabandhan festival.


The Hindustan Times reported that activists of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad and Vishwa Hindu Parishad protested outside the school over the alleged incident. The report says, “ABVP leader Rishikesh Mandalia claimed that when the protesters confronted the school management, they denied that such an incident happened”.
