The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has ordered the district magistrate to conduct a probe into the allegations of a private school here allegedly suspending a nursery student for bringing “non-vegetarian food” in tiffin box.

Hilton Convent School’s principal Avnish Kumar Sharma has also been directed by the district Child Welfare Committee (CWC) to appear before even as the student’s mother claimed her three children have stopped going to school out of fear and she may seek legal recourse.
