Shashi Tharoor: Alexander Coates Reid, the principal of Pune’s DY Patil High School, was allegedly seen sprinting with his shirt and vest shredded in a viral video. On the campus of the school, he reportedly suffered assaults by VHP and Bajrang Dal members. ‘Har Har Mahadev’ was being chanted by the assailants in the video. Shashi Tharoor, a Congressman, shared the video and stated that the incident was shameful and that no genuine Hindu would act in such a manner.

Shashi Tharoor tweeted, “This is disgraceful. What gives Bajrang Dal the right to take violent action with such impunity? And how dare they claim to be defending Hinduism? No decent Hindu behaves like this. #NotInMyName.” What took place at the DY Patil High School in Pune? According to reports, there were other parents with the assailants who were upset about two things: the CCTV cameras in the ladies’ lavatory and the school’s practise of Christian prayer.

A parent filed a FIR after learning that the school had a CCTV camera in the lavatory for female kids, held Bible-based prayers and did not observe holidays for Hindu holidays. “We are looking into the allegations leveled by the parents and an investigation is going on,” Talegaon MIDC police inspector Ranjit Sawant said, as reported by PTI. According to a parent, the principal and other teachers bullied the student if any parent brought up these concerns. Block Education Officer S. R. Walunj claimed that he visited the school and discovered no CCTV cameras, but the staff acknowledged that there was a camera there that had been taken out. According to the management, they are unaware of the CCTV camera.
