Madhya Pradesh school violence
Right wing group workers attack Madhya Pradesh school over religious conversion charges
Bhopal/IBNS: Several workers of a right-wing outfit allegedly stormed into a school in Madhya Pradesh and pelted stones at the building on Monday, claiming that religious conversions were being done by the Christian Missionary institution.
The violence at the school premises happened when students of Class 12 were appearing for a Mathematics exam.
The students and the school staff present during the incident could however escape narrowly.
The school building was vandalised by the workers of Bajrang Dal after several reports on social media claimed that as many as eight students were converted into Christianity by the administration.
Visuals showed a mob outside the building with the Hindu outfit workers and several locals raising slogans against the school administration.

The police were later seen trying to disperse the crowd.
The school manager has claimed that he had received an information about the attack a day prior to it through the media after which he alerted the police.
He accused the police of not making proper security arrangements despite having prior knowledge about the attack.
The manager also denied the claims of religious conversion in the school and claimed that none of the names mentioned in the complaint matches with the students' records.
